I, for one, would really appreciate it. And I think others would appreciate it as well.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] VMware (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 37, Issue 15) (OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 37, Issue 20)
Hmm, sounds like some issue with the iscsi adapter on vmware? This article isn't directly applicable, but the configuration discussion might give some pointers on what you can check? http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2007829 On 15/08/2013 03:42, James Relph wrote: the same servers as iSCSI targets has no iSCSI errors at the same time as VMware is freaking out Is VMware using iSCSI as well or NFS? Tried it with both (iSCSI originally), and oddly it's basically the exact same issue (frequent disconnects) between NFS and iSCSI. You would be convinced it's network related, but nothing shows up obviously wrong in the switch logs and obviously the OpenIndiana iSCSI initiators (two of which are guest OSs on the VMware cluster!) aren't affected at all. You get a bizarre situation where VMware is complaining about iSCSI going up and down, yet the VMs themselves don't register any problems whatsoever. Thanks, James. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
