ReadyNAS Pro 4.2.24, iSCSI and VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5
I just upgraded to VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5 and I tried to access an iSCSI target (LUN) that was originally created with ESXi 5.0. I added the new initiator IQN to the access control list for the iSCSI...
I think I found the source of the problem. The default iqn, aka WWN, generated by ESXi 5.5 was very, very long. When I shortened it to something of my own choosing, I was able to see the devices. Unfortunately, I can't be sure this was the fix because I broke the cardinal rule of troubleshooting. I changed two things at the same time. I also configured DNS on the ESXi server when I changed the iqn. I may re-install the server later today to determine exactly which change corrected the problem.
