Hello,
In the meantime the device is in the datacenter. So I can configure and test it remotely.
-I created 1 target and 3 LUNs
-I added in the LUN configuration all the IQNs if the ESX servers connecting to the storage.
-On the ESX servers I added the IP address of the ReadyNAS to the iSCSI software initiator > Dynamic Discover.
-I let the ESX server do a rescan all
-After the rescan I see in the iSCSI software initiator on the ESX server in tab 'Static Discovery' the Target name of the ReadyNAS.
-But I don't see any storage volumes I can create a datastore on.
So the connection is there, otherwise the ESX servers would not see the name I configured on the ReadyNAS, but I dont have the LUNs available, although I configured the Access Control and added all the Initiator IQNs. (I used copy-paste so no typo's).
Anyone has an idea, all help is appreciated.
