iSCSI Port

[callmemonks]

Running VMWare 5.5 I have set up one ESX server. I am trying to get this ESX to connect to a iSCSI SAN. I've created a VMkernal port as a standard switch with one physical adaptor.

I go to the properties of the iSCSI adaptor. Go to the Network Configuration tab and select the port group. Enter the IP address of the SAN and then do a rescan. Nothing happens.

I go back in to the properties of the iSCSI adaptor. Remove the port group from the Network Configuration tab so it's empty. Do a rescan and the SAN appears fine with all the devices presented.

Anyone have any ideas what is going on? All the connections are pinging fine between them. The SAN can ping the ESX server, the server can ping the SAN, the VMkernal port is pinging. I'm at a loss.

Which iSCSI SAN you have ? Check to make sure that LUN's are allowed on the IP Subnet on which the ESXi is

The SAN is a Fujitsu Eternus DX200.

What do you mean by "check to make sure that LUN's are allowed on the IP Subnet on which the ESXi is"?

The SAN and ESX servers are all on the same subnet (i.e. 255.255.255.0) if that's what you meant. Pinging each other fine from both ends.
