FAS2020 7.3 ISCSI-LUN to ESXi 6.5 not working

Dear all,

I am newbe in netapp. We have an FAS2020/DS14Mk2 with Ontap 7.3.1.1. We shut it down 3 years ago, then running with esxi 6.0. For a small project we have reactivated this storage.

I have done a firmwareupdate and a factoryreset (Option 4 in advanced bootmenu). Obviuosly there are some errors with the image on the flashcard, because there are upcoming events in the console with missing files or pathes. Just to know...

Ok sar far I have createt aggr, vol and lun, have setup igroup have added the esxi nodenames. ISCSI security is none. I can ping the esxi ISCSI adapters in the vlan, but no access from any esxi host, and ipgroup show says not logged in.

igroup show
san_group0 (iSCSI) (ostype: vmware):
iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:localhost.grotec.local:1194268268:34 (not logged in)
iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:localhost.grotec.local:1194268268:35 (not logged in)
iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:localhost:174429905:32 (not logged in)
iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:localhost:174429905:33 (not logged in)
iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:localhost:174429905:34 (not logged in)
iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:localhost:174429905:35 (not logged in)

So any tipps where welcome.

Thank you , Daniel

Sorry guys, I am stupid! It helps to start the iSCSI Service. 😁 It runs perfectly.
