Trouble iSCSI setting device

[James S]

I configured iSCSI to run under FN 11.1 to run with ESXI 6 and all worked fine until a bundle of simulatenous disk failures in the data pool. In rebuild I've taken advantage to upgrade to FN 11.2. WD were kind enough to replace 3TiB with 4TiB so I've moved the pools around too - recreating one pool as a stripped mirror (existing 2TiB) and the new disks as raidz2.

I'm trying to set up the extent but cannot get the device to stick in the settings. I can choose it (store-1) but

after saving it dissapears

I'm assuming it should show up under "Device*" - third row?
On the exsi side it shows the drive mounted but does not show store-1 or the size.
I've rebuild the storage a number of times since it seems capital letters and perhaps underscores (?) are forbidden.

What am I doing wrong here?

Another issue is making sure the storage is actually configured as a stripped mirror (something I screwed up last time :( Under zpool status I'm seeing

Does this confirm a stripped mirror?

Thanks!

Which version of 11.2 (from the Dashboard)? Are you using a zvol for the device?

 

[James S]

OS version is 11.2-U5
Yes, I'm using a zvol and for clarity:

store-1 shows up as an option to choose but after clicking 'save' it is not present.
The esxi shows reports it mounted by cannot, it seems (?) read the volume.

This is what it reports

Code:

Login to iSCSI target
iqn.2011-03.org.exam.istgt:iscsi-target on
vmhba36 @ vmk2 failed. The iSCSI initiator could
not establish a network connection to the target.

Hi... could I give a nudge here? This is a bit of an impediment to moving forwards now.
Is there something else to share that will help figure this out?

The problem looks exactly like this:

which resulted in a (closed) bug fix:

Am I doing something wrong or is there still an issue here?
Thanks!

You have two mirror vdevs, yes.

This might be a regression from after the fix. File a new bug report and post the link here (note that the old Redmine bug tracker is not active anymore and you'll need to use Jira: https://jira.ixsystems.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa ).

Ok - thanks for the link. I've posted a bug.
I guess this means reverting to 11.1 for now? That is a pity I was already liking the new GUI and I guess will have to wait a while for it to grind through the bug-fix process.

Seems like a confirmed bug:
https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-103009
The target fix is 11.3 (beta) which I guess means 9 months+ before getting back to 11.3 (stable)?

Back to 11.1.

Thanks.
