I am attempting to lab test a change in our production environment which has access to a NAS with iSCSI storage. However my lab does not has access to a physical NAS.
So I have configured a freenas vm (10.0.0.34) on one of lab ESXI's, LABVS002 (10.0.0.23) and I am trying to present this iSCSI target to my other lab ESXI LABVS001 (10.0.0.21).
I am unable to connect from LABVS001 to freenas on port 3260, however I can vmkping from LABSV001 to freenas:
[pmg@LABVS001:~] nc -z 10.0.0.34 3260
[pmg@LABVS001:~]
[pmg@LABVS001:~] vmkping 10.0.0.34
PING 10.0.0.34 (10.0.0.34): 56 data bytes

--- 10.0.0.34 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.445/0.473/0.497 ms
I have confirmed that netcat can confirm port 80 communication between LABSV001 and freenas:
[pmg@LABVS001:~] nc -z 10.0.0.34 80
Connection to 10.0.0.34 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!
[pmg@LABVS001:~]
I thought that this may be something to do with the ESXI firewall so I have disabled both the firewalls:
[pmg@LABVS001:~] esxcli network firewall get
Default Action: PASS
Enabled: false
Loaded: false
[pmg@LABVS002:~] esxcli network firewall get
Default Action: PASS
Enabled: false
Loaded: false
Any ideas?
