Local datastore naming policy of VxRail 3.5 hosts
Hi EMC Engineering,
I have a question about local datastore naming policy of VxRail hosts.
I had create FRU replacement node using "v3.5_gen2_node_replacement.zip".
After VxRail 3.5 FRU node installation,
the SATADOM local datastore name is different in VxRail 3.5 and 3.0 .
And I found the difference in the kickstart scripting ESXi installer ISO images.
Is this a design change ?
Example :
In the VxRail 3.0 ESXi local VMFS datastore(SATADOM).
-service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-01-service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-02-service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-03-service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-04-service-datastore1
In the VxRail 3.5 ESXi local VMFS datastore(SATADOM), there are "04" inserted between AssetTag code.
- 04- -service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-04-01-service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-04-02-service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-04-03-service-datastore1
EMCXXXXXX04-04-04-service-datastore1
Thanks.

I had initialized the VxRail appliance via build system with the EMC engineer.
After initializing the VxRail 3.5, the Asset-Tag was erasured.
And the local VMFS datastore name changed
<PSNT>-04-<Node#>-service-datastore1
QCFXXXXXX04-04-01-service-datastore1
QCFXXXXXX04-04-02-service-datastore1
QCFXXXXXX04-04-03-service-datastore1
QCFXXXXXX04-04-04-service-datastore1
