Hello Rob,
have you tried the vmkiscsi-tool?
# vmkiscsi-tool -h
look at the help "vmkiscsi-tool -h –help"
-c –ipconfig: enable/disable DHCP, ARP redirect
Or
There is some detial information at "http://www.vmwareadmins.com/index.php/component/content/frontpage/frontpage.html?start=15"
iSCSI HBA Configuration
Per Dell's handy-dandy EqualLogic Configuration Guide (TR1043-VMWareFAQ-1.30.pdf), there are a few things that you need to configure prior to hitting the ground running. Those are, in order:
Enable ARP redirect on the HBA using: esxcfg-hwiscsi -a allow vmhbaX
Enable support for jumo frames on the HBA using: esxcfg-hwiscsi -j enable vmhbaX
Verify these settings are correct by using the ISCLI utility availible from the QLogic website
To set them, run ‘iscli’ at the Service Console. To get to the settings:
1.Enter ‘4’ (Port Level Info & Operations)
2.Enter ‘3’ (Edit Configured Port Settings Menu),
3.Enter ‘3’ (Port Firmware Settings Menu),
4.Finally ‘7’ (Configure Advanced Settings)
5.Press ‘enter’ until you see “ExeThrottle.” The default is 64, maximum value is 256. Higher values increase performance. A setting of 128 is safe and a good starting point.
6.Continue to press ‘enter’ until you see ‘IP_ARP_Redirect’ and set that to ‘on’
7.Continue to press ‘enter’ until you see ‘KeepAliveTO’ and set that to ’60.’ Set to ‘120’ if you are booting the ESX server from the array.
8.Continue to press ‘enter’ until you return to the previous menu
9.If you have two ports, Select ‘11’ (Select HBA Port) and configure that port.
10.When finished, select ‘10’ (Save Changes and reset HBA).
I hope this helps
