Re: ESX 5, iSCSI and VMWARE - Logical Drive Not On Preferred Path

Hi Amanzoor,

I am also having the same issue with a SAS connected setup.

I don't quite understand your cabling.

If each host has 2 HBA's and the DS has 2 controllers how do you cable this?

ESX1     (SAS HBA 1)              (SAS HBA2)                         ESX2 (SAS HBA 1) (SAS HBA2)

STORAGE Controller 1  (SAS PORT 1, SAS PORT2)           STORAGE Controller 2 (SAS PORT 1, SAS PORT2)

Do you go from:

ESX 1 (SAS HBA 1) ==> STORAGE contoller 1 (SAS PORT1) 

ESX 1 (SAS HBA 2) ==> STORAGE contoller 2 (SAS PORT1)

ESX 2 (SAS HBA 1) ==> STORAGE contoller 1 (SAS PORT2)

ESX 2 (SAS HBA 2) ==> STORAGE contoller 2 (SAS PORT2)

Thanks for your help
