Hi everyone

Hopefully we can get this setup working, we are planning to move off of ESX due to the cost of the Vcenter, and i am currently planning to use a HP P4200 storage server and ESOS.
I had major issues getting the USB to boot when made from a windows device, so i mapped it through to a centos VM and built it in there and it then booted fine!
Kept getting errors when the waiting for devices to settle prompt appeared...

Anyway!

I have managed to get ESOS working from a USB, followed all the guide and did some digging in here, and i think i am setting up the iscsi initiators and connections fine, when i attempt to connect from the hyper V box it cannot see anything.

I have tried using the IQN and just using the ip address direct incase it would work that way but a bit stuck.

I have a hardware raid setup, so just wanted to pass that through as an ISCSI connection to two hyper v hosts to enable fail-over.

My network is currently on DHCP setup, so i can get this working, before placing it on a dedicated ISCSI switch.

I am a bit unsure if i have everything configured correctly, i can see the size of disk on ESOS and adding targets, and devices and groups fine, I think, its the last link to the windows OS side i think im struggling on.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
Can you run a "conf_sync.sh" from the shell and share your /etc/scst.conf file?

According to this SCST configuration file, you have not mapped your
"TEST" device to the "testgroup" security group as a LUN. Map your
"TEST" device as LUN 0 to the "testgroup" security group, and I doubt
your Microsoft iSCSI initiator name is "testinit". Probably will be
something like "iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:example" that you'll need to
use to give your MS initiators access.
