All
I'm trying to setup a simple system on VMware workstation and for some reason it's not playing ball
The setup: 2 x ESX 5.5 or 6.0 hosts each with 4 NICs and I want to setup Openfiler or FreeNAS to provide shared storage via iSCSI
I want to setup two NICs for Management and VMs and two NICs dedicated for iSCSI traffic
Most of the simple setups out there put iSCSI traffic on the Management network and one NIC for FreeNAS or Openfiler, which is hardly realistic or desirable
However when I setup on VMware workstation, despite setting up (I think) correctly with the iSCSI traffic to go through two different NICs from the rest, the ESXi hosts refuse to see the LUNs presented by either NAS software. If I put just 1 NIC for the NAS on the Management network, it presents the LUN for ESXi. If I setup to NICs which don't have the Management PG on it, I get nothing.
Has anyone managed to get ESXi 5.5 or 6.0 to connect to an iSCSI LUN on NICs which are on an isolated (Host-only) network on VMware workstation 10?
