Hi Tom,

I have not used the FC target with Vmware ESX server yet, at the moment we are using SQL, EXCHANGE and Progress Database Servers connecting by FC to DSS with volume replication and it works really well. Our Vmware VI 3 servers at the moment are running vm's from iscsi with replication and once again no problems. I am getting more fibre cards in this week and hope to start testing vmware with FC. I will keep you posted if I managed to find a solution.

I will add that initially I had to do a factory reset on the cards in the DSS server then set them in DSS as targets and then reboot the DSS server. Then Created some FC Groups, created WWN Aliases add the Aliases to the FC Group. Created the FC Volumes (do not select initialize otherwise you will not see them) assigned the FC volumes to the FC Group. Then on the clients I just installed the card and the LUN's appeared without having to configure the cards.

Regards

Gavin
