Hi,
Just trialling the VSA on the second day of thirty.
My issue at the moment is the ESX host cannot see the iSCSI target, i am pointing the intiator on the ESX host to the virtual cluster address of the two LH appliances.
I can telnet onto port 3260 of the node so am a bit confused as to why ESX cannot see it.
Also when trying to download the help manuals they all appear in .PHP? pretty useless as i cannot open these. Surely these should be PDF/HTM
Thanks
dan

Hello Dan
Not sure if you've figured out the issue yet, but here are a few tings to try...
- Confirm you have the configuration set up properly on the SAN side. In your SAN management group, confirm that you have created an authentication group for the ESX host and make sure that the iscsi initiator node name of the ESX host is associated with that auth group. Then check that this auth group has a volume list associated with it and that the volume list contains the volume(s) you are trying to connect to.
- Try a few rescans (if you haven't already) and if this is unsuccessful, I have seen a few cases where an ESX box needed a reboot to see new LUNs.
- It might also be worth checking the firewall settings on the ESX server to see if the port for the iscsi software client is open. Under configuration/security profile/properties ... check to see if the iscsi software box (under ungrouped) is checked. If it is not, you will want to check the box to open the port. I have seen a few cases where not having this port open has caused problems.
Hope this helps,
Brad Katz

Dan-
In regards to your question about the documentation, when you install the LeftHand Management Console, it installs a document folder. You should have PDFs on the machine where you installed the CMC - take a look in C:/Program Files/LeftHand Networks/UI/Documentation.
Cheers,
Brad

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, i can connect to a Openfiler without any issues on Iscsi so this must be the LH side.
Will recheck all settings and also your recommendations as it does stink of a access list issue.

| I'd concur that smells very much like an authentication misconfiguration. You might be served well by this document too. Its intention is to help you get targets connected to ESX correctly. http://www.lefthandnetworks.com/library/library.php?fid=935 Hope that helps.
