I have a Linux Server acting as the SAN with 1(250gb for O/S) and 3(2TB for RAID5) running SUSE 12 Server. I run a VSphere 5.5 Host Server as the Initiator. I setup the 3 x 2tb in a RAID 5 array and formatted it with XFS on the Linux Server. I then setup a volume group for the RAID5, then setup a volume. I have enabled the SUSE server as an ISCSI Target and tried to advertise (the array) /dev/md0 out as a LUN.
My ESX server is the ISCSI initiator, and its able to find the SUSE iscsi target iqn, but for some reason the ESX Host simply cannot detect the soft RAID array. I've made sure the firewall is off, the storage VSwitch is working, and that the two devices can ping each other.
In OpenFiler there was an option for ISCSI when I created the soft RAID, but I don't see that as an option in SUSE. I've tried multiple times with EXT3, XFS and unformatted, but the ESX Host 5.5 cannot see the Array. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
