Getting the following error upon attempt to create a new datastore subsequent to a fresh install of ESXi 5.5U2.
Situation:
- UCS Servers B200 using VIC-1280 card and
- ISCSI interfaces connected directly from the Fabric Interconnect to the NetApp FAS2552 with TwinAx cabling
- MTU is set for Jumbo Frames (9000) on the NetApp interface, vNIC for the ISCSI interface, vKernel vSwitch and Port Group
- During the initial configuration of the vSwitches I had forgotten about the Port group MTU setting and the interfaces wouldn't even ping, so all MTU setting are good
- ISCSI connection is green and LUN's created and presented from storage are seen as available to the ESX server to create a datastore (both 1TB and 2TB sizes tried)
- Storage on the NetApp have been created as both Thin Provisioned and Thick Provisioned - neither works and gets the same error
Any ideas would be quite helpful. Tech Support has not yet responded.
Thanks in advance.
