The config.vpxd.filter.rdmFilter
and config.vpxd.filter.vmfsFilter
configuration options in the vSphere Client control the LUN filtering mechanism. The options are set to true
by default, but can be individually set to false
when you need to turn off any of the filters.
However, you should not turn the filters off unless you have other methods to prevent LUN corruption.
Note: If you are upgrading your environment, check the values after the upgrade as the values can return to their default setting.
To turn off any of the filters using the vSphere Client:
config.vpxd.filter.rdmFilter
; false
config.vpxd.filter.vmfsFilter
; false
true
.
