I hope this is the right forum.
Here’s the issue. We have TrueNAS running just fine. You can ping the world and other servers on the network. All is well to this point. We have other approximately 10 other TrueNAS servers (misc SuperMicro hardware, nearly all Dual Xeon V2 CPU, mix of 32-64Gb RAM, etc). We have been doing this ever since like FreeNAS 7 or maybe a bit earlier.
However the following has us puzzled (and we are likely just missing something stupid). We have one of the servers connected to VMWare via iSCSI, and it’s happily running just fine and loving life. We repurposed and installed new latest version of TrueNAS 12.0-U7 on a new server (all are running this), we have set up iSCSI on it and then went to VMWare to add into the cluster. Nada, nothing, doesn’t show…. We have checked networking, software and physical, rebooted the server, rebuilt the iSCSI, etc…. Still it can not be seen by VMWare cluster, however you can ping from the TrueNAS server the VMWare cluster servers…. Networking is pretty simple, running 10Gb connections to a Cisco Nexus and then to Dell R630’s that are also connected to a PURE storage unit. Nothing fancy. It’s on it’s own network for moving data to and from.
At a loss here. Would appreciate any help. Willing to pay someone to VPN in and look at what we have setup and help fix…. Seriously.
Thanks. If this is the wrong place please point me to the correct spot. This appeared to be correct when I was looking through things.
