Follow these steps:

  1. Open a command prompt on the ESX host where the SQL Cluster vApp is deployed.
  2. Navigate to the directory that holds the VM vmdk files.
  3. Run the VMKFSTOOLS from ESX Server Service using the following command:
    vmkfstools -k OSS-SQL1.vmdk
    

    Note: Use the full path if you are not in the disk directory.

  4. Repeat the command for the OSS-SQL1_1.vmdk.

    The following confirmation dialog appears:

  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 of this procedure for the OSS-SQL2 server disks.
  6. Run the following commands for OSS-SQL2:
    vmkfstools -k OSS-SQL2.vmdk
    vmkfstools -k OSS-SQL2_1.vmdk
    

    The SQL Server disks are configured from the command prompt.
