Hi,
Trying to add secondary storage for VX9000 instance on AWS, but it fails:
VX-AWS#service database use-secondary-storage ************************************ WARNING ************************************* ** Execution of this command will configure this device to store the database ** ** files on a secondary drive. This device will reload after execution. ** ** NOTE: Current database files will be erased. ** ************************************************************************************ Are you sure you want to proceed? (y/n): y % Error: No available secondary block device: xvda
The problem is that there is indeed a secondary block storage device attached to the instance, but it shows as sdb in the AWS console.
Is there a way to tell the VX to used sdb and not xvda ?
Thanks!

Hi,
Is there any document about “WiNG 7 Installation Guide: VX 9000 – Amazon EC2 Cloud”?
Thanks

Good point, it might work but I do not have resources (AWS) to test it...

Thanks Ondrej. I had seen that note, does it mean you can add secondary storage before exporting from ESXi and it will work when it is imported into EC2?
