Iscsi disconnection in vmware

[gharding]

Hi,

I have setup a test environment based on the webinar about hosting the a HA DSS iscsi failover as vm's with esx1 4.1. The issue I am having is that when i try copy an existing vm on to an iscsi volume the ESX Hosts lose connection to the iscsi volume.

I have had similar issues with physical DSS servers with 4GB Fibre channel and this is still not resolved. I have tried different hardware but it appears that the open-e servers cant handle high I/O.

Hi gharding!

Can you provide me the hdparm from the tests.log, and from the dmes2 log I would like to see the RAID controllers settings to see if the Write Cache is enabled. Did you send in a ticket on this?

Where do i find these logs I have looked in the hardware but don't see anything with that name

Hi Tom,
Hi what email address can I email the logs to as requested, I have had a call logged once before when we where getting same problem using FC but it has never been working perfectly. And now that we have some 10GBe cards we though this may resolve the issue but it doesn't. Have tried other storage vendors and not had the problem. Please help.

Thanks

As a side note we tried this as a physical server same problem, and decided to try it as a VM appliance and still get problems

Thanks
