Adding additional routes to have iSCSI work consistantly in 3.0.2

[lwinnert]

ESX 3.0.2

We can add the additional route with the CLI route command.... but not persistant.

Once the route is added and a rescan of storage adapters the VMkernel finds the iSCSI LUN.

Is there an esxcfg- command to add additional persistant routes?

Or is there a file that can be edited to add the route that is needed?

Once you know the correct CLI to add the route, you write a startup-script to run the command when the server boots.

To do so, first create the file/script by typing:

#touch /etc/rc3.d/S101addroute

(The S101addroute is just the name of the file/script).

Then:

#vi /etc/rc3.d/S101addroute

Using vi, just create a standard bash script:

#!/bin/bash

inet_route add XXX YYY ZZZ

Now, every time the ESX server boots (well, everytime it boots into runlevel 3), the script will run therefore creating the desired route.
