Cannot save iSCSI Target

[JuutB]

I wanted to configure freenas for VMware and used following info http://johnkeen.tech/freenas-11-iscsi-esxi-6-5-lab-setup/ almost everything goes as expected with one exception, the target does not get saved. I make the necessary changes and click on save but nothing happens. I added a screenshot.

I thought this was fixed. There should be an error or notice that you must use all lowercase. This is not a constraint of ctld (the iSCSI driver) but I would guess the regex that's used to validate the input. change the Target Name to "iscsi_target" and it will work. Just a tip, even if that the only target you will ever use, give a more descriptive name based on its intended use. Don't use the extent name either as you can have multiple extents per target. If it's for ESXi you might say esxi_tier1 for tier one LUNs etc...

Thanks kdragon, that did the trick. You made me a very happy man, also thanks for the advice regards naming.
