In vcenter there was already a VMkernel interface which is used for nfs datastrores. So first I created a ISCSI Software Adapter and added the existing VMkernel interface via the network port binding option to the ISCSI Software Adapter. Afterwards I did a force re-connect of the host in ACS. Then I followed the youtube guide by Mike to add the solidfire as primary storage with Protocol = custom Provider = solidfire Managed = true Filled in IOPS and Capacity and the URL as follows: MVIP=<MVIP>;SVIP=<SVIP>;clusterAdminUsername=<USERNAME>;clusterAdminPassword=<PASSWORD>;clusterDefaultMinIops=100;clusterDefaultMaxIops=200;clusterDefaultBurstIopsPercentOfMaxIops=1.5 The odd thing is that I managed to have one deployment working, but only once. This VM was running fine, I could ssh to it, use the console etc...
