not able to install ESXI 5.5 U2b on Dell PowerEdge T110ii (Storage FreeNAS-9.2.1.8-64 )

Hello,

I’m not able to install ESXI 5.5 U2b on Dell PowerEdge T110ii


Using FreeNAS-9.2.1.8 as my storage

I have created an 8GB LUN to install the ESXI (tried it using Zvol and Dataset)

Using ISCSI protocol


I have configured my free-Nas with no Authentication for testing

I have also configured my T110ii with the needed info

At every time the server starts, it show me all the config that I made

And then give me the message “logging in the 1st iscsi target failed (target not found)”

A screen shot is attached to show the error


Note1: I’m able to access the LUN and work on it using windows 7

Note2: I have followed the instruction on the below links:

I spend 2 days trying to find a solution but with no hope

Please let me know if any tricks ??

Thanks
