I looked for ease of management and thus settled on proposing a Nimble Storage CS1000 with iSCSI for price-performance ratio and ease of manageability. Taking into consideration that the existing team in the current environment had no experience with managing storage. Also, each of the virtual machines being in individual silos made resiliency difficult, as things like automatic fail-over didn't work due to none-shared storage. The issue with this was that each host was an individual silo and with the ease of management and complexity. The previous virtualization setup was Hyper-V and XenServer with all storage using local storage.

The setup and design are done with the following:Ģ) Nimble Storage CS1000 15TB SAN (Now HPE Nimble Storage)ģ) 2x 10G HPE FlexFabric 5700 32XGT 8XG 2QSFP+ Switches in HPE Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) Background:

I see the correct IP address populated for connectivity when scanning HBAs in VMWare but once the scan is complete, the new device drops the addressing it previously found.This post is just to share my experience and design with setting up a 4 host VMware vSphere 6.5 Cluster with iSCSI SAN and 10G switching.

I can successfully ping from the storage device to the interface in VMWare.

I am running Jumbo frames at 9000 MTU on all devices between the new device and VMWare.

The new iSCSI traffic is currently configured on 172.16.1.0/24 subnet.

The existing iSCSI traffic is on 172.16.0.0/24 subnet.

The new installation will be running 10GB fiber links.

The current installation is using software iSCSI and running on 1GB ethernet NICs. It is completely possible I have misread something or misconfigured a setting within VMWare but I am not able to get the LUN into VMWare. I've been through the guides on the VMWare knowledge base pertaining to configuring iSCSI and addressing/port binding/etc. I am currently trying to add a Dell SCv3020 to an existing ESXi host already running iSCSI attached to a Nimble device.
