Problem connecting ESXi 3.5 to DSS
Hi,
We have a problem connecting a ESXi host to DSS.
ESXi 3.5 host is configured with a software iSCSI adapter in dynamic discovery. We have add the virtual failover ip in the server list.
DSS is configured with two nodes in failover mode. We have a basic setup (no access restriction and no chap auth). There is only one target.
When we click on Rescan in ESXi it found no target. But in DSS we see a connection from ESXi (see screenshot in attachement).
Any ideas ?
I have made some new tests :
When I use the fixed IP of DSS and not the virtual IP it's working. And I can ping virtual IP from ESXi host.
Are you able to ping the Virtual IP?
Also use the link below that provides details on the setup and configuration.

Yes I'm able to ping the virtual IP.
I think I have found the solution. I have create a smaller LUN and it's working. My first LUN is too big (3To). I have restart everything from scratch with 2To max LUN. Now I wait for initialization and replication and when it's will be finished I will try on VMWare again.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, that is a noted issue with VMware but there is a way to grow this to a larger size. I believe someone the forum stated how to do this.
All the best,
