hi, i'm new to virtualization and am testing for our department. we have a dell poweredge 2950 connected via a qlogic sanbox 1400 to 2 apple xserve raid chassis. for those not familiar with the xserve raids, they're basically two raid arrays per chassis controlled by two separate controllers. one controller handles the left side of the chassis (disks 1-7) and the other handles the right side (disks 8-14). the raid admin tools provided by apple allow you to take one side of a chassis and "slice" it into equal parts . what we've done is taken each side (seven 500gb drives per side formatted raid 5 w/one hot spare for a total of 2.27tb of usable space per side) and sliced it into two 1.14tb luns to avoid hitting esxi's 2tb lun size limit. so we have 4 fibre cables coming into the sanbox from the 2 xraid chassis and 1 fibre cable coming into the sanbox from the poweredge. the problem is that when i try to add storage from the vsphere client configuration tab, i can only see the first lun of each "half-chassis" effectively cutting my storage capacity in half (i see lun 0 for each connection but nothing else). i've spent the past few days looking at all the settings and configuration options that esxi 4 provides but my newbie brain can't seem to make a connection between the settings and my problem. if anyone has any suggestions or has experienced the same issues, any assistance or discussions would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
