Hello,
I finally have gotten our new ESXi 6.7 to find the iSCSI target in our network. It looks like I can create a datastore now, but I'm concerned that the iSCSI target shows the ESXI host's IP address (x.x.x.6) in its connection properties, not the VMKernel NIC IP (x.x.x.47), as I expected. The iSCSI target is on a Synology NAS box.
There are 4 physical NICs:
vmnic0
vmnic1
vmnic2
vmnic3
There are 2 virtual switches:
vSwitch0 - (Management Network & VM Network) vmnic0, vmnic1
vSwitch1 - (iscsi) vmnic2, vmnic3
There are 2 VMKernel NICs:
vmk0 - Management Network portgroup, x.x.x.6
vmk1 - iscsi portgroup, x.x.x.47
The iSCSI Software Adapter, vmhba64, successfully found the target (x.x.x.80). It reports "No port bindings." Is that a problem?
Does anyone know why the iSCSI target is showing the host IP, x.x.x.6 and not the vmk1 IP, x.x.x.47? Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
