Hi,
I can think of several forums to ask this question , this looks like a good place to start.

We have several vmfs luns hosted on our san , we use iscsi to connect to them.

Our backup solution has no problem backing up the lun or restoring if its just restoring to a working data store, the problem have has arisen when testing a "bare metal" DR type test ie when restoring to an alternative location.

When i restore the lun and map the initiator to it, the esx hosts see the lun as an unformatted drive, rather than an existing datastore.

Has anyone had a similar problem or can tell me what I'm missing

Thanks for reading.
