Hi there,

Sounds like the iSCSI software adapter needs flushing, try the following:

1. Evacuate the affected host

2. Make a note of the existing iSCSI software adapter IQN, bindings, targets and CHAP configs to a text document.

3. Disable the iSCSI adapter, enable SSH on the host

4. Use WinSCP or other software to copy the contents of /etc/vmware/vmkiscsid/ to your PC

5. At the host's CLI run the following: 

     rm -rf /etc/vmware/vmkiscsid/*

6. Reboot the host

7. Create a new software iSCSI adapter, give it the same IQN, bindings, targets and CHAP config as the previous adapter


You should be good to go.


Hope this helps!
