Vmware ISCSI Disconnecting
Good Afternoon, I have a standalone vanilla ESX host 10.0.3.5 connecting directly via ISCSI to Netgear NVX storage 10.0.3.1. (Seperate network) I just can't make the ISCSI connection stable, it...
Update:
I noticed that it was always one particular iScsi (LUN) target which would drop first then the other two would follow.
I have one VM on each iScsi target, so I turned my efforts towards the offending VM, it was a Windows 2003 x86 server running a legacy exchange install with no mailbox's on it anymore. I noticed the overall performance of this server was sluggish.
So I loading the latest VMTools and reconfiguring the Memory from 2GB to 3GB, I also ran defrag on the disks. Now the performance of the virtual host has dramatically increased and my iScsi dropout has also totally stopped. I've been iScsi dropout clean for around 20 Hours.
At this point I'm totally convinced the ReadyNAS is absolutely no way to blame in this case, I'm back to loving these devices. I will swap over the HDD drives eventually to comply with the HCL. Thanks for your assistance.
