VMware: The datastore “name” is connected to one or more pre-4.1 hosts that do not support Storage I/O Control

October 23rd, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Last week I was configuring some new vSphere 5.1 (Enterprise) hosts in a dedicated cluster and created some VMFS 5.58 datastores at the Dell Eq. PS6000 SAN with latest firmware, after configuring SIOC I received this error message:

The datastore is connected to one or more pre-4.1 hosts that do not support Storage I/O Control.

That’s weird, I’ve reinstalled all hosts (not updated) and created new datastores, there are no vSphere 4.1 hosts in this cluster (even connected to the datastore) and the PS6000 supports SIOC..

 

Solution:

Not really a solution.. but you can only configure SIOC with the Enterprise Plus license.. crap!
