VSA 6.0 Unable to create new datastore

After upgrading from 5.0.1 to 6.0 I am no longer able to create new datastores. The new UI seems to assume that everyone has configured replication, but that isn't the case. When I reach the step to select a replication partner, I am not able continue because I don't have replication enabled and the next button is grayed out.

    I didn't realize the Flash client was still enabled, but once I tried using that I was able to create the datastore without issue.

    I will also note that the HTML 5 client doesn't seems to include Host Clusters in the Hardware Resources page for some reason.

    "how did you upgrade the VSA to 6.0?" 

    I followed the instructions in the user guide to upgrade.

    "Also have you tried reboot thing the client afterwards?"

    I assume by "reboot thing" you mean the appliance, yes, I did try rebooting the appliance. 

    "Or even try installing?"

    I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

    "This is the manual and I don't particular see the issue you are experiencing."

    I included a screen shot of the issue. I don't know what you think this last statement accomplishes.

    Hi @REKnight,

     

    I assumed VSA, you're referring to EQL Virtual Storage Manager?

     

    What is your ESXi version?

     

    Are you creating a VMFS datastore? Is it the same if you select VVol? 

     

    What is your EQL product model?

    Yes, I am referring to the EqualLogic Virtual Storage Manager.

    ESXi 6.7U3

    Yes, I am creating a VMFS datastore. I have no need to create a VVol, so I haven't tried.

    Hello, 

     I am glad you were able to discover that the FLASH GUI is still enabled.   They are two separate plugins.  

      Would you be willing to open a support case?    They will need logs from the EQL array, VSM and vCenter and the ESXI nodes.   What firmware is on the PSM4110?   Hopefully 10.0.3? 

     Regards, 

    Don
