ESXi and Infortrend SAN

[BDwyer1]

Hello, I've got an Infortrend A16E-G2130 and I'm trying to get this bad boy to connect with my ESXi 4.1 machine.  Both have the latest firmwares and patches, and I've configured this thing exactly as it seems you should.  I've created a target on the SAN and added the iqn of the ESXi box and my laptop as well just for testing.  I can map and mount via my laptop but when I try using the ESXi box, the LUN shows up as dead?  Not sure whats going on.

OK, here we go I think this may help.

iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:localhost-0dd24e46-00023d000002,iqn.2002-10.com.infortrend:raid.sn7709596.10,t,1-

Ok, so I managed to get this fixed for vSphere 5.  After deleting all of the other "User" claims created trying to fix this, this one here finally did the trick.  This time around I learned a bit more, and I think ESXi selects the rule that is the most specific.  In this case, any rule containing Infortrend's vendor code of IFT will work since there are none by default.

• esxcli storage nmp satp rule add --satp VMW_SATP_DEFAULT_AA --vendor IFT
