Hi,
I'm new to UCSD and struggeling with associating a NetApp LUN to a VMware Datastore.
What I did:
Not sure if I forgot something with the storage profile. Not sure how I can add the LUN as a datastore. Maybe I took the wrong Task within the workflow designer. I was thinking about taking a VMware Task but there is non. I might have to create an own script. I have seen there are a couple of scrips but non for NetApp, most for EMC.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Wolfgang

I have the same issue that is described above. I'm trying to create an iSCSI lun and want to present it as a datastore to VMware. I feel like the lun path I provide as input should be the right one as I take it from the output of a previous task in which I create the lun.
I also looked at the workflow index you linked but didn't find a resolving solution to this. Do you have any other thoughts?
Another issue as part of this lun creation is that I would like the lun to be thin provisioned and by default it turns out to be thick. There does not seem to be a field where I can change this setting and I was wondering if that is possible somehow!
Thanks!

I am not personally working on data stores in VMware, but am also new to NetApp and UCSD and am experiencing the learning curve first hand. That being said, here is what i know:
Hope that helped.
