Long story short, I had a physical server running Napp-it, unfortunately this got wiped out by an electrical fault, this was setup as follows
Physical Napp-IT Server 3 Nics 1 for management 2 for iSCSi, the iSCSi was a separate subnet and was part of an iSCSi vlan
ESXi Server 1, 2 Nics 1 for management 1 for iSCSi in same subnet & Vlan as as the 2 iSCSi ports for Napp-IT
ESXi Server 2, identical setup to ESXi Server 1
I have now installed on one of the ESXi servers the AIO solution
I have tried to setup the iSCSi the same as the physical network, but I can't seem to do it, am I over complicating the build?
I was hoping to achieve on the Napp-IT server, iSCSI on separate subnet and Vlan using a dedicated nic, another nic for the management, to achieve this I have set it up by adding a Vmkernel switch own subent and Vlan on my physical switch
ESXi2 (not hosting Napp-IT) 1 nic for management and vms, and a separate vmkernel separate subnet and vlan to same vlan as NApp-IT iSCSi on physical switch
Result is the ESXi cant see the Targets
I have tried adding a Vmachine Port group sep subnet, both nics assigned to the whole then the nics assigned via Nic Teaming with only a single nic exclusive to iSCSI subnet mirrored on ESXi
Result is ESXi cant see targets
Currently I have removed the Nics from the ESXi hosts, single Nic in Napp-IT, both ESXo hosts access teh targets without issue.
I may be over complicating it but feel that the network performance on the 2nd ESXi host could be better if it was accessing the iSCSi on a dedicated Nic, obviously the ESXi hosting Napp-IT dies not have this issue
A guide or help would be greatly appreciated
I have had a nightmare with this when the original physical machine died it took the OS hard drive with it and along with it all the info Luns share names, I have managed to get them back and recreate the Luns with the old share name from the CLI but it was a nightmare, I have only just started playing with iSCSi and Vlans so be gentle, my introduction to this new world coudl have been easier
Thanks and apologies for the long first post, any questions and I will do my best to try and answer
