Hi,
My v7 cluster seems to work fine, but I can't figure out how to set up vsphere esxi 5 so that the datastore remains available when a resource pool moves to the other san.
I'm using a switchless setup: got a dual port 10GE nic in the ESXi for my storage network, 1 direct connection to each SAN.
When I do static discovery with the virtual ip (10.0.50.100) it finds the datastore.
But when failover happens that path is no longer available. If I then rescan the HBA it will discover the new path, but so it does not happen automatically.
Esxi doesn't allow me to do NIC teaming so I had to created 2 vmkernel ports (iscsi-A and iscsi-B), each bound to 1 physical nic.
Once it has learned both paths it seems to work, but this is not ideal since I have to trigger a failover just to do the setup and I don't think it will stick after a reboot of the esxi.
Am I missing something ?
