Can I add multiple LUNs from a single iSCSI storage to create multiple VMFS?

I have a problem over here, not sure wether it is a bug in my lab...

I am trying to configure ESX server along with "Openfiler" iSCSI Filer. i have a single NIC which is working for VMNetwork, Service Console & VMNetwork.

I have created three iSCSI Volume (LUN) of different size and assigned to ESX.

I can see those LUN’s in Storage Adapter section as 3 targets.

However all those 3 targets are showing of same size i.e. all targets are showing same size as the first one

If I try to create VMFS in Storage Section - Add Storage, it is showing all LUNs (as a single item) but allowing me to create a VMFS equal to my 1st Lun size..

so my confusion is "Can I add multiple LUNs from a single iSCSI storage to create multiple VMFS?"

If yes I may conclude there is some bug with my setup; any clue to fix that!!

-regards,

Hahahahah....

this is a silly one!! I can see every Lun is taking same ID, so i edit manually ietd.conf in openfiler...

now it is discovering all LUNs with respective size.

Cheers!!
