TueNAS 12 in ESXi6.7 - can't see LUN to make datastore

[araczek]

For testing scripting I created a ESXi cluster in VMware workstation with 2 ESXI 6.7U3 servers. I had set up TrueNAS 11.x with iSCSI and had the ESXi servers successfully add the TrueNAS datastore. I decided to make another TrueNAS with version 12. I have pretty much the same configuration in TrueNAS 12 as in TrueNAS 11.x. Initiators accept connections from any host. MTU's on all iSCSI adapters and connections are 9000, verified several times.

In ESXI (vCenter appliance 6.7U3) I removed the vmhba65 iSCSI sw adapter and re-added it back in. Went through Dynamic Discovery in vCenter on the hosts and the hosts detected the TrueNAS targets. The trouble I have is when I try to add a New Datastore and choose a host no LUN's are presented to vCenter. In the ESXi servers I looked at the vmkernel.log and see:

That particular naa..... is the TrueNAS device. What the heck is wrong? Very frustrated.

can your two esxi hosts still connect to your FreeNAS 11.x iSCSI target? can you vmkling from your esxi host to your iscsi target? On the target are all your iscsi ports listening? can you telnet(port 3260) from vmware to FN11 and can can you do the same to the TN12?

No, the hosts cannot connect to the FreeNAS11 target. I can vmkping fine between the hosts and the FreeNAS12. The targets are there in Dynamic Discovery, PAths, Devices, etc. Just when I try to ad a new datastore the hosts don't show the LUN. I would assume if I got that far the port should be okay.

are you trying to map 2 LUNs on the FreeNAS side and both are LUN0?
