Are you trying to connect the 2003 system to the virtual disks that are already connect to your other virtual hosts? Also are you trying to connect directly to the volume or are you going to connect to vmware and then creating the space for vm?
Also you don’t need to install MDSM on the virtual machine unless you host is going to be direct connected to your MD3200i.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
The 2003 server is connecting to two virtual disks that are not shared by any other hosts. And the disks are not presented by VMware. The issue I see is that the MPIO option is not present in the iSCSI configuration. So I have 4 ducks showing up in Disk Msnager vs 2
Correction to my last sentence above.. "So I have 4 ducks showing up in Disk Msnager vs 2", should read "So I have 4 disks showing up in Disk Manager vs 2" Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as the LUN continues to move to the non preferred contoller
What is the current version of firmware that you are running on your MD3200i? Also which version of the Resource CD did you install on your 2003 server? All steps that you stated that you have done when installing MPIO from the deployment guide should have worked.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
The firmware version for the MD3200i is 07.84.56.60. I used the DVD that cam with the array a few months ago. Should I download an older version of the Resource CD/DVD?
