SCSI disk in ESXi 4.0

The just a bunch of disk array that was attached to my ESXi 4.0 machine
had a couple of drives in them. One was found nicely the others not.

It seems you need to give them a correct label in order for them to
be seen in ESXi. Luckilly I didn't need the data on them so:



download the gparted live iso directly from sourceforge.net -http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843&package_id=271779

Use DVD/CD Burner tool (CD BurnerXP) to make it into a CD

Boot machine with CD

Hit enter a couple of times to start the GUI.

Gparted screen is active


Device - Create Partition
Partion - New ext2
Apply
Reboot

The disk(s) will now be seen by ESXi
