Be sure you import these... importPackage(java.util); importPackage(java.lang); and then sleep with this... Thread.sleep(millisecond#);

Hey there Lukas. 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: 'm 99% sure you've created an iscsi lun properly i'm 99% sure that the output of the previous task is tailored specifically to feed into another NETAPP task type. HERE IS YOUR PROBLEM -- i'm 99% sure that the lun input for VMware is expecting a different variable type. NOTE HERE - its all just a series of text strings. The value you are passing (TEXT STRING type and value), the variable type expected on both sides of the TASK are also -- yes, just a TEXT STRING types and values. Computers being computers, won't do what you mean, they'll only do what you tell them to do. since the TEXT STRING types between the TASKS don't match, it won't work. You're going to have to make a custom TEST STRING translator TASK in javascript. its pretty easy. You'll then feed the output of one into the input of the other, like you want to do now. then the output of this translator into the input of the VMware task. a. run the job manually getting all the stuff you need done via context drop downs (don't try to fill in values, pick them from the UCSD tables and stuff they present you). b. look at the log file and find out what that particular task is expecting as input (the exact TEXT STRING value), this comes from the context of UCSD so is the correct input value. c. compare that to the TEXT STRING string that is output from the prior task you want to pass to this new task. d. look at the variable input for the new task and the old tasks output variable to see its claimed 'type', which is just a TEST STRING type. e. in your custom javascript task, select the input type as text with an associated type of whatever the hell the NetApp one outputs as. then in the output section of the custom task, again make it a text field with the associated TEXT STRING type that is expected in the VMware datastore. f. lastly, in the code section... preform any translation of the actual value being passed. I know in fiber channel NetApp land (which is close to iscsi), it will otuput the TEXT STRING value as NAMEofNETAPParrayINucsd@theIPofTHEnetappARRAY@theNETAPPsvm@theNETAPPvoluem@THElun. I have no idea what vmware is expecting... hence step 4.b above. but you may have to chop that up using javascript to make it look like whatever VMware is expecting to see. Hope that helped. good luck and happy holidays.
