Hi All,
we have downloaded and are attempting to test the iSCSI system against ESX3i
we have 3 HDD arranged in a software Raid 5
1 volume which is targeted at the ESX server
I can see the volume in the ESX but when i try and configure it, it always comes back with Unable to read partition.
Any ideas
p.s. it looks like a really good product, keep it up :)
Dont worry figured it out.
should of tried this before posting, but for any trying this as well
I connected the LUN to a windows machine using the iSCSI initator and Initialized the disk
after that is able to mount within ESX with no problems :)
I encountered a similar issue to yours, however in setting up my latest one, I realized that this was only when using Block I/O based volumes.
If you create a File based I/O volume, you will not need to do this step.
Also, it appears that File based I/O is faster for virtualization.
