Hey all,
I just came over to FreeNAS from Xigmanas. I'm trying to setup iSCSI with MPIO & Jumbo Frames (which I did have working previously). The issue I'm encountering is that ESXi can see the paths, portals, etc..., but cannot see the (extent?) storage device I am attempting to present to it.
I can ping all ports iSCSI related on both machines (ESXi ---> FreeNAS, and FreeNAS ---> ESXi) and have confirmed that the MTU is set to 9k on both ends, on all iSCSI interfaces. Packets aren't being fragmented, and this is point-to-point, so there isn't a switch between them to mess with me. Any in-depth iSCSI settings ahve not been messed with, it hasn't been "tuned" (and I can't find info on that stuff anyway..)
ESXi version 6.5 U2 specifically.
Here is the hardware running FreeNAS 11.1 U6:
The HGST, though irrelevant to this issue, are mirrored (used for SMB/CIFS)
Here is a link to an Imgur gallery with some config info on the FreeNAS and iSCSI side.
Up until setting up iSCSI, setup and config was pretty painless and quick.
Any suggestions? I'm at quite a loss here, so some help would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
