I started trying out ESXi 5.0 this weekend. We are having some troubles with it though. I cannot get it to see the iSCSI volumes, and it has this ESXi bug:
Warning to all! That bug made my server, with about 9 iscsi volumes, take literally hours to reboot. I would highly advise against upgrading to ESXi 5.0 if you have more than a few volumes.
Now, about it not connecting to our iSCSI volumes. Remember that it is not yet qualified for 5.0. Any idea when that might happen Todd? However, this problem may be because we are 3 versions out of date. I want to upgrade to the latest version prior to doing any further troubleshooting with it.
However, for the version we are on, it can discover the volumes once the right data is input. However, it never connects to them. Also, inside of Open-E it never shows as connected.
Those have been my experiences thus far. I'll post back once we've upgraded Open-E to the latest version to see if it makes any difference.
