DSS V6 and VMWARE 5

[Gr-R]

be sure that the VMWare IP is in the same subnet as the IP you want to connect to the storage.

The nas and esxi hosts are in different subnets, does that matter? The router does not block iscsi traffic and windows hosts in a different subnets can pick up the iSCSI volume

It can matter.
Try putting the VMWare initiator in the same subnet and see if it connects.

OK I moved the iSCSI initiator into the same subnet and it connected. So what is my solution? is this an open-e issue, vmware issue or netwrok filtering issue?

Its not an issue, this is normal behavior.
We recommend you keep the iSCSI traffic on its own subnet, so unwanted connections do not happen.
