VM Ware ESXI 4.0 ISCSi Adapter not showing in storage adapters
Hi Chaps/esses,
A Little help please.
I cant get a static connection to show for different QNAP Luns on esxi 4.0.
The existing LUN is connected fine, but the new replacement LUN Will just not show in the data store details. I have created and removed several ISCSi connectors, They just will not show in the details, of storage adapters.
The server is live and very important, and downtime is a no no.
The VM is hosted on a dell PowerEdge R805.
I have recreated the same scenario on a test server but it all works fine.
I don't want to keep messing with it, because I'm afraid I'll end up deleting the wrong connector
I have included a screen print of the networking just in case it shows some thing I have missed.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jake

Hi,
I'm new to VM. I am slowly learning that it is heavily Linux referenced.
How do I create a Remote CLI connection on the free version, to enable me to VMKPING the QNAP? I have Googled it, and I cant find a straight answer.

ESXi is not Linux, and most if not ALL functions can be completed via the vSphere Client.
However, to fault find and troubleshoot sometimes, we need to access thj console.
No need to visit the command line, CLI or use "Linux-like" commands.
To use vmkping, you must enable SSH on the ESXi server, and login via PuTTY.

Hi,
I've just got that to function. I was a bit reluctant to go unsupported mode.
Ive also just found the PowerCLI .
Ok, I'm going to get on the vmkping now and see if we have the connection there.
Thanks
