ESX OpenFiler iSCSI Basic Trouble Shooting Tips
Posted on November 23, 2007
This is not a VMware ESX iSCSI tutorial or technical guide that teach you how to configure VMware ESX and Openfiler iSCSI.
Basiclly this is a just a few trouble shooting tips regarding VMware ESX inside the VMware Workstation 6 and Openfiler iSCSI connection that what I'm looking for previously.
1. Check VMware ESX Log File and make sure no error:
– /var/log/vmkernel
– /var/log/vmkwarning
– /var/log/message
2. VMware ESX Command:
– esxcfg-swiscsi -e (Enables the software iSCSI initiator)
– esxcfg-firewall -e swISCSIClient (Configures the ESX Service Console firewall (iptables) to allow the software iSCSI traffic)
– vmkiscsi-tool -D -a 192.168.100.100 vmhba40 (Sets the target IP address for the vmhba40 adapter – software iSCSI initiator)
– esxcfg-rescan vmhba40 (Rescans for storage devices on vmhba40.)
3. Networking:
– Make sure you have Service Console & VMkernel(VMotion) sitting inside the same network subnet.
– Make sure you can ping OpenFiler iSCSI IP address.
4. Hard Disk Space:
– Make sure your VMware ESX root partition (/) is not empty.
5. Security:
– Make sure you set iSCSI host access configuration for your volume to "ALLOW" in OpenFiler web administration page.
– Make sure your have enter the correct CHAP password.
Hope this can help if you have any problem when connecting your VMware ESX and Openfiler iSCSI.
