Dear community,
I have a raid enclosure with 16TB space connected via SATA. If I boot the host with a Ubuntu Live system, then I can mount the drive properly.
However I did not succeed in mounting it into my VM on the ESXi server. I searched similar posts and tried all the suggested solutions.
I created a .vmdk using the vmkfstools and added it as an existing harddisk to my vm. If I boot then the VM (Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS) I get many errors:
print_req_error: critical target error, dev sdb, sector 31255691136
Buffer I/O on dev sdb, logical block 3906961392, async page read
Like I could read in similar posts it helped for some to add a SCSI controller. I did so and of course made the harddisk using it, but it didn't solve my issue. I tried to play with the SCSI controller using all different types. I also tried the -a lsilogic option(as it was mentioned in one similar post), but vmkfstools says it ignores that option as it is deprecated.
I would be very happy for any idea that could solve this issue.
Thank you very much in advance!
