Hello all!
I've for some time now had a 10TB zvol served as an RDM via a Qlogic QLE2462 FC card to a VM running on an ESXi 6.0u2 host.
FreeNAS Server Specs:
SuperMicro X7DWE board
2x Intel Xeon E5335
4x4GB FBDIMM DDR2
2xIBM M1015 SAS/SATA cards
6x 3TB 7200rpm white label disks
The ESXi host is an IBM x3650 m2
Everything has worked really well and performance is pretty great, however I have a pretty annoying problem with it and was wondering if anyone knew of a fix.
Basically everytime I reboot the ESXi host, when it comes back up, the LUN is no longer presented to the host and in order to fix it, I have to run the following cmds on the FreeNAS server:
This works no problem, but becomes very cumbersome when trying to do this from a smartphone...
Here is the pertinent dmesg logs that show the FC link going down:
And the subsequent log showing the host's FC link coming back up:
So even though FreeNAS see's the FC link from the ESXi host come online, the FC target still has to be reinitialized manually.
Anyone have any ideas on a better fix than what I've already come up with?
