Debian Linux and VMWare: drive mapping
Hi guys,
This is a a question that sort of straddles technologies. Hopefully someone here might be able to shed some light on the Linux side of things.
I've got a Debian Lenny VM running under ESXi 4.1. It is housed on datastore1. I've created a datastore2 that is 200 gb on a separate SATA drive. Via vSphere, I've given the VM access to this datastore. (When I did something similar to this on our fiber channel SAN, I used raw device mapping and the drive automatically showed up as a new drive in a Windows Server VM)
My question is, how do I go about mounting this new drive / datastore under Linux? What form would it show up as? Something similar to standard IDE drives? (/dev/hdb)
The info in vSphere for the drive are as follows:
- Hard Disk2
- Virtual Disk
- Device Node: SCSI (0:1)
- Independent
- Persistent
Thanks guys.
Just a side thought, perhaps its time to add a virtualization forum here?
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?

Ahh, fdisk -l can see it.
Shows up as /dev/sdb
Problem solved.
