Problem detecting Volumes on new server ESXi 6.7

CDHICT — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:08:39 GMT

Hi everyone,

We are currently installing a new server to replace an old one. The connection with our IBM Stowize work as intended but with our Netapp E2700 series ... On vmware, it didn't show all of our volumes. It show only the first volume but not the two others ...

Did anyone have an idea why it didn't show all ?

It's a long time i search everywere why it didn't work but nothing work 😞

Thanks in advance

Old server: IBM system X 3550 M4 ESXI 6.0

New server: ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus ESXI 6.7

On an eSeries. Using iscsi? Are your igroups configured correctly? Is your host able to access ask the iscsi ports on the storage?

To be precise, it's NETAPP NetApp E2724 .

We have 3 server connected on it using SAS cable . 2 old server and a one new one. Only the new on cannot acces on two out of tree Volumes of the netapp :

On our IBM V3700, i found how to allow an host to access the data but on Netapp Santrcity... i found nothing

I realy dont know if it's a driver problem on vmware or something else with our NetAPP

we should see something like that

but we have this :

Any idea why ?

Thanks in advance
