Hey Everyone,
I am currently adding a SAN to our network infrastructure and I have noticed a issue with VMM (or with my configuration) and iSCSI.
The setup currently is as follows:
Cisco Nexus 1000V (3 network segments, 2 uplink profiles, 3 port-profiles)
SCVMM 2012 R2 (2 uplink profiles, 3 port-profiles, 3 segments/vm networks)
3 Hosts in a cluster, 2 management vnics per each host, one on the iSCSI segment, one on the mgmt segment, and both segments go through the same uplink profile (the second profile uplink profile is for the other two NIC dedicated to guest traffic only).
When I try to add a iSCSI array, I only see the "management segment" vnic (both vnics are configured and active, pinging between hosts on the separate vnics work as well as pinging the array on the iSCSI vnic).
When trying to add through the command line, it eventually errors with: "The IP address <x> is not a valid iSCSI initiator address for <y>. Enter a valid IPV4 address of iSCSI host, and then try the operation again".
So, obviously, the first question is going to be, is the IP address valid? As mentioned above, the address I am using is valid for that specific host and should work without any problems.
Thanks,
Dan
