I have 2 mirrored Hard drives, but When i want to create a DataStore , the ESXI detects them as individual disks. It is possible to create the same datastore to both of them, because i have very important files to server and if one of the hard drives fail and be destroyed , I dont want to lose my files.
Sorry for my english !
Please help me!
If drives are mirrored it should visible one drive, need more information to suggest appropriate solution for this issue.
To protect data against drive failures its best to use hardware raid configuration. ESXi will allow you to create two different datastores on the two drives but you wont be able to configure data protection automatically using this option.
I am pretty sure that they are mirrored , they have the same size, but the ESXI detects them individuals 😕 they are sata hard drives
It is likely that the RAID controller on your machine is not supported by ESXi - check the compatibility guide
Many standard PC motherboard SATA RAID controllers are not supported in ESXi and without the correct RAID drivers, the disks are just seen as individual SATA drives.
Please see my reply about the B110i controller in your other discussion (Creating Datastore in mirrored hard drives?)
