I have two ESX 4.1 servers that connect to 2 DSS6 SANs (failover) that use a virtual IP.
One VM host can connect to the SAN using the virtual IP w/o issue, the other can connect, but does not see any storage devices. I can connect the problematic server to the SAN using the adapter IP addresses and get access to the storage, but I lose the connections if I try to use the VIP.
There isn't a connectivity issue because if I input the VIP into VMWare in the dynamic settings, all of the servers IPs come up with the iSCSI target name - although I can't get VMWare to see the storage.
Any thoughts on why I'm seeing this?
