Is any name you want to use, for example, the name of your host. The name indicates that the domain name was registered in January of 1998, and iscsi is a subdomain, maintained by. For example, the naming authority could have the iSCSI qualified name form of .iscsi. S usually reverse syntax of the Internet domain name of the naming authority. Is the year and month when the naming authority was established. authority:unique name - :esxi001-5abe60a5 Next I added this ESXi's IQN on Microsoft storage server.

Communication will taken care on 3260 port, by default when iSCSI software adapter is enabled or added it opens and allow port no 3260 in ESXi security profile automatically. It is somewhat as similar as physical address like MAC address and unique. Here select vmhba65 adapter, note the type is iSCSI and status is online, I will require to add IQN identifier on Storage server for access. also it will always have number above 35, in my scenario it is vmhba65. after it has been added, select the adapter and use the adapter details section to complete the configuration, Make note here, only one Software iSCSI hba can be added on esxi server. It shows popup message A new software iSCSI adapter will be added to the list.

I can also check connectivity using telnet port 3260, If you are facing any issue check at networking for VLAN and MTU settings (remove them if required and check), Same steps are useful for first basic troubleshooting, Most of the time I have resolved my issues with the same steps.īy default Software iSCSI adapter is disabled and not installed on the ESXi server, It can be added by selecting Esxi Server > Configure Tab > Storage > Storage Adapters > click + green plus sign > Software iSCSI adapter. Pinging is successful (if ping fails you will see error on the screen with red text). Source is the interface on storage server and -Destination is Esxi server. Next do the same ping testing from Microsoft Storage Target server and try to reach Esxi server, using powershell command Test-Connection alternative to ping. It looks good from Esxi Server that connectivity is good. I is Interface, vmkping will us selected interface only to ping remote IP. I have highlighted both iSCSI vmkernel adapters, I specifically need their Interface names. esxcfg-vmknic -l command lists all VMKernel adapter.
I am using putty tool to login to Esxi server. If SSH is not enabled on Esxi server go to Configure tab > System Security Profile > scroll down and Edit Services > Select SSH > Services Details on the status and start service. Make sure you have proper connectivity between Esxi iSCSI VMKernel adapters and Storage Target, I am checking connectivity on ESXi as well as Storage server by pinging each other. Warning: Windows iSCSI is not listed on VMWare HCL as Esxi iSCSI datastore. (It is a client and also called initiator), Same steps can be performed using VMware Powercli and it will be a subject of my next article.
