iscsi storage

[PDV2009]

I have 2 ESXi server

One server is configured to work with the iscsi storage.

I turn off iscsi storage. of the first server and wish to join the second server.

But how can I do to the old virtual machines on the array were visible on the second server?

IF I Add new storage - confihurator want format my iscsi storage - it's nogood

Can I manual add issci target to system? without format

using sent targets you make the server know that we have iscsi connected...then jst going to the storage option, you can add the storage...It should nat ask you to format...if it does..make sure the LUN ID is same for both ESX servers. this needs to be checkd on the storage..

Welcome to the Forums - Both ESXi servers should be able to access the iSCSI targets so you should be able to point the second ESXi servers at the iSCSI target which should allow you to access the existing VMs. What type of iSCSI storage are you using? Are you using the built in software iSCSI intiator in your ESXi server or is it a iSCSI HBA hardware intiator?

I want move iscsi storage from first ESXi to second.

I have disconnected iscsi initiator from first server.

I do not need to use two servers. I need to connect the iscsi disk without formatting

Click on configuration tab, then advanced settings. Select LVM and first try zero in both. refresh your storage. if you don't see your iscsi vmfs, then set the resignature flag to "1" in the same advanced - LVM area.

Refresh the storage and you should see your iscsi with a "snap?????" label, which you can change
