Error message regarding shared SCSI/RAID
Details
Why do I get a message saying that I must get rid of shared
SCSI/RAID mode and reboot?
Solution
This error message appears if you have a SCSI/RAID device shared
between the console operating system and the virtual machines. Once
you have shared a SCSI/RAID device, you cannot stop VMware ESX
Server unless you reboot. However, the vmware-config-www.pl script requires that VMware ESX
Server be stopped before it can continue.
This means the only way to change the settings in the vmware-config-www.pl script is to make sure no SCSI/RAID
devices are shared. The only way to do that is to go back into pcidivy-www.pl, make sure no shared SCSI/RAID devices
exist, then reboot.
