Hi All,

 

        I am a newbee to ESX. Now we are developing a non PCI storage device (RAMDisk) driver for ESXi 5.0 .

 

1. Normally in Linux we can see the available disks and hardwares inside the /dev/ directory [Ex. /dev/hda, /dev/sda]

 

2. But in ESXi 5.0 we can not see any disks in /dev/ directory.

    Ex. As we are uisng SATA hard drive, we could not see /dev/sda 

 

3. After many resaerch we managed to add a disk in esx by using add_disk(gd) in our driver .But we could not see the added disk in the /dev/ directory. Is there any other way to view the newly added disk and mount the disk to the esx.

 

4. Inside /dev/disks also we could not see our newly added disks

 

As short,

 

How to check the available and newly added disk in ESXi 5.0 and how to mount it to the esx

What is the use of /dev/disks in esx

 

Thanks in advance .

 

Regards,

Vignesh
