All
I am working with a test environment of ESX 3.5 on a white box system that is experiencing some strange issues when I try to connect to a another system that is running openfiler 2.3 as an iSCSI SAN.
The issue I am experiencing is that I am unable to connect and see the storage on the system running openfiler. What is most concerning is that when I finish configuring the iSCSI Software Adapter in the storage adapter menu and then do a rescan my ESX server then becomes unreachable via console and all guest OS are unreachable too. I must then log onto the console of the ESX server and reboot to get it back online.
The Network configuration of the ESX server is:
NIC1 is set as the service console on 192.168.1.200
NIC2 is set with the vmkernel on 10.0.0.10
NIC3 is set as the virtual switch for my guest OSes
OpenFiler System:
NIC 1 is set to 192.168.1.90
NIC 2 is set to 10.0.0.1
The ESX NIC 2 and OpenFiler NIC 2 are on there own subnet and a private gigabit switch.
Has anyone seen this before? I tried my best to explain what is happening so please let me know if I let any details out.
Thanks
