MSA 2012i - host not seeing LUN

[mrfitp]

I have a new environment with a MSA 2012i that I have a dedicated NIC for the iSCSI communications. I see the host appear in the host list on the MSA but when the LUN is presented I never see it with the re-scan. Any ideas?

We had the same problem. The solution was rather simple. Originally we created a volume of 4TB. Which is not supported. Creating 2 volumes of 2 TB fixed it.

could just be it, there's a 2TB limit for lun's attached to ESX(i).
