I have been testing this as a cheap SAN solution for our development environment. We have 14 x 300gb 15k drives in an md1000 that came from our exchange server configured in raid 10 i am wanting to share between two qa/uat esx hosts. I am using version 4 of the software but am finding an issue. It seems if the san for whatever reason is restarted the esx servers will not pick it up again once its back online. I tried refreshing the storage pools as well the storage adapter. Even though the target is listed in the storage adapters I have to manually remove the iscsi target's ip, remove the static mappings and then re-add it to storage adapter and re-create the data store. This is troublesome since although the iscsi host should never need to go down you never know when you may need to restart it for something.
Anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?
Thanks
