vSphere 4 - Support on the Way?
Hi there,
Anyone have any idea as to a timeline when we might expect to see some compatability with VMWare vSphere4?
I recently upgraded ESX 3.5 to ESX 4 to test its compatability with DSS and it seems that they re-wrote their iSCSI stack code and there is some funky stuff going on.
I get dropped connections to LUNs and many path failures and reservation conflicts on the 4.0 server. When it occurs and the LUN mapping is dropped, the ESX 3.5 loses connection to it as well.
I can help the cause by providing Open-E access to my production ESX4 and DSS servers, just let me know.

vSphere compatibilty needed ASAP
Drew,
We too are facing a similar scenario; however we have not upgraded our ESX environment to vSphere 4.0 as I noticed they were not on the HCL for vSphere 4.0 Storage. However I really want to be able to upgrade to vSphere 4.0 so I am hoping they can resolve your issue and get recertified. However, I was not to optimistic on the speed of this happening as I was told by support that they may look at testing and recertifying sometime later this year, but as of yet no testing had been done with vSphere 4.0. I am going to continue to monitor your thread for progress resolving this issue. Hopefully since you already on vSphere 4 and need DSS to be compatible it doesn’t take until the end of the year to get that.
