iSCSI Device shows up as 'normal, degraded' and has 0 B space

Hello,

I've tried to make a SAN with freeNAS, using iSCSI, the result was the device had 'normal, degraded' as status and 0 B storage.

I have two VMs in VMware Workstation 15 Player, a FreeNAS and an vSphere Esxi 6.7 host, nothing serious i just wanna learn about it.

FreeNAS

1 network card with a static IP: 192.168.139.128

Portal: Group ID: 1, Listen: 192.168.139.128, Discovery Auth Method: None, Discovery Auth Group: None

Initiator: Group ID 1, Initiators: ALL, Authorized networks: ALL

Target: Target Name: freenas

Extents: Extenttype: Device, Device: Datastore/iSCSI, Logical block size: 512, TPC enabled

Associated Targets: Target: freenas, LUN ID: 1, Extent Datastore

Esxi

1 network card, static IP: 192.168.0.95

2 network card, static IP: 192.168.139.129

iSCSI conf: iSCSI activated, no CHAP authentification, Port: 192.168.139.129, Dynamic Target: 192.168.139.128, Static Target: 192.168.139.128

I'll appreciate any form of criticism, don't be shy Smiley Happy

Thanks for anyone reading through the mess I've created, I hope someone can help me.

thanks and best regards.

Did you check the MTU?

MTU mismatch can have same behaviour

Hello,

I just installed VMware Workstation Player on another PC and made a new VM with freeNAS on it, I configure iSCSI and connected it with the other Interface on my Esxi Server and it worked. There has to be some mistake with the Host-only Network, or the freeNAS settings, I'll try to reinstall freeNAS.
