Anyone using ESXi 5 yet?

[Ambit Energy]

I wonder how this compares to NexentaStor in terms of performance / speed.

Any experience between the two?

We have three hosts running with 2 SANS.

Out of the 3 hosts 2 of them are running ESXi 4.1 Upate 1 and one is running ESXi 5.

We are having the slow boot up issue with the Host running ESXi 5. It gets stuck at iSCSI_vmk_loaded_successfully

When the server does boot up I do not have access to SAN1 but I do have access to SAN2

SAN1 is running DSS V6 Version 6.0up55.8101.5087
SAN2 is running DSS V6 Version 6.0up55.8101.5626

I am going to update my SAN1 tonight to see if that fixes my issue.

update to dss6.0up85_b5794, and see if it still hangs on boot.

Yep I did that too. I ended up moving back to 4.1.0 Update 2. Once I did that everything came backup I see both of my SANS now.

Joy!!!

We finally updated to the latest version last night. ESXi 5.0 see's all iSCSI Targets just fine now. Tomorrow I'm going to reboot the Node and see if it still takes forever rebooting.
