Summary of steps you should take to insure that you have a trouble free setup:
Make sure that you have unique names for all your LUN's. This is required if you have more than
•
one iSCSI unit or the additional LUN's will not be recognized by ESX.
For each LUN that you make, set the Maximum Connections field in Advanced Settings to the
•
total number of ESX servers that will be attached to the LUN. Example: For 5 servers, set
Maximum Connections to 5.
Make all of your arrays' LVM/LUN configurations in the TeraStation before attaching them to
•
your ESX server. Once they are made, you cannot change them due to a limitation in the
current firmware 1.32 / 1.40. Making a change after connecting to the ESX server requires
rebuilding the arrays and losing all data.
Our iSCSI units are best connected to your environment with only LAN 1 plugged into your
•
switch. Do not use LAN 2 as your only connection to the host server. Our units do not support a
network failover configuration.
Before making changes to your iSCSI TS's settings, first stop the iSCSI service in the TeraStation
•
Web Administrator interface. Do not stop the iSCSI service if the unit is actively being used with
your ESX server.
Change the time zone to your local zone.
