Hi,
We recently setup our MD3400.
This is Direct attached storage setup using 2 LSI 12Gb SAS 9300-8e HBA, Dual Port cards and 4
12Gb HD-Mini to HD-Mini SAS Cable, 0.5M (470-AATS) cables attached too 2 esxi 6 hosts.
We followed the diagram for physically connecting the MD3400 to the 2 esxi hosts, so I believe this is correct. Physical installed the cards and rebooted the 2 esxi servers. We now see the storage adapters.
On one of the storage adapters on 1 of the esxi host I can see the virtual disk and capacity that was created, but only one path. On the other esxi I do not see any details under the storage adapter.
When I look in the modular disk storage manager raid controller properties host interfaces there is only 1 host showing up and all other ports are down.
I am not sure if i need any software on the esxi to detect etc as this is Direct Attached and not iSCSI.
Thank you
