Use Static Discovery instead of Dynamic Discovery in VMware 5.0 settings
Noticed on our ESXi 5.0 hosts:
I try to enter iSCSI targets by type VirtualIP on Dynamic Discovery, first.
After rescan process, there are list of all discovered targets on Static Discovery tab.
Now, I can remove all list on Dynamic Discovery and physical IP targets on Static Discovery list.
There are only VirtualIP targets left on the Static list.
It's quite fast and "precise" methode.
And it should work!?! Yes and NO
It works till host is restarted.
iSCSI targets entered using Dynamic Discovery methode are some-how not saved in host initial configuration , but manually entered targets are.
So don't be lazy and define all targets with manual methode.
