I've just installed the following updates on a host in one of our ESX clusters:

ESX350-200907405-BG, ESX350-200905403-BG, ESX350-200905404-BG, ESX350-200905407-BG, ESX350-200906401-BG, ESX350-200906402-BG, ESX350-200906405-BG, ESX350-200906407-BG, ESX350-200907403-BG, ESX350-200907404-BG

It's completed (events say successful) but now I've got the following message:

"The VMware ESX Server does not have persisteent storage."

Is this a known issue with an easy fix or should I be looking to raise a support ticket to get it fixed?

Thanks.

Quick update - the iSCSI targets reads "0" from "Configuration" -> "Storage Adapters" -> "iSCSI Software Adapter". There were previously 6 available.

If I look under "Configuration" -> "Storage" it shows the 6 iSCSI datastores and using browse I can browse the first one ok.

Further update - the issue seems to be with the iSCSI initiator. It's can't log in to the target (Equallogic). The IQN is the same and the config seems correct though.

I get this message logged on the SAN - "iSCSI initiation connection failure. No response on connection for 6 seconds"
