on truenas seeing below warming

Apr 12 06:41:40 lc1-nas01 WARNING: 10.1.1.27 (iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:fsys-lc1-esxi-1-27-4f540b0d): connection error; dropping connection

 

esxi version - 6.7 U3 

truenas version - FreeNAS-11.2-U8

using software iscsi 

 

attaching esxtop details , alerts screenshot

 

Networking

esxi host>to>ip switch>>freenas using 10g network

MTU set on esxi/freenas - 1500 
on switch its set to 9000.

 

 

Can anyone help me to figure out what is happening and how to stop the alerts?

Below was tried already->

1. changed iscsi timeout = 0 on freenas

2. esxi upgrade

3. esxi reboot

4.disable/enable sw iscsi adapter

5.rescan

6.target delete and recreate on freenas

 

Thanks!

Anything to do with you having installed updates for a security advisory, or not?

@scott28tt 

 

the only update i did was applied release patch for esxi 6.7 u3 for this issue which did not help. Anything else that I can tune on freenas or esxi to get rid of these alerts?
