Hello gents,
1st - it`s stupid I know - not a SAN guru myself but trying it - problem is that I`ve tried in my "prod" environment
Past scenario
3 hosts
host1 - VSA 500gb
host2 - VSA 500gb
host3 - FOM
all good but I need more space, what to do? I don`t have other hosts to add on the fly and then migrate the data. I decide to broke the hosts and add some storage - I`ve had to do it breaking the old VSA`s
I migrate all VM`s to host2. I take offline host1 - add storage - reconfigure RAID - all good
I create a new VSA with 1Tb storage
problem is that I`ve added the new VSA1Tb to the same management group :( - stupid
when I`ve taken offline host2 and added storage and reconfigured RAID - I got obviously no quorum as both host1 and host2 with old VSA`s were offline
I`m unable to recoverQuorum on VSA1Tb - the volume is valid but offline
I`m unable to delete the old VSA`s and volume from the CMC as I got no quorum
Any advice? I got backup to everything BUT my exchange server who somehow failed to bkp last night...
