Chapter 8 Configuring ESX Storage

Table 8-2. Additional Parameters for iSCSI Initiators (Continued)

Advanced Parameter

Description

Configurable On

 

 

 

ARP Redirect

Allows storage systems to move iSCSI traffic dynamically from one

Software and

 

port to another. ARP is required by storage systems that do array-

Independent Hardware

 

based failover.

iSCSI

 

 

(Configurable through

 

 

vSphere CLI)

 

 

 

Delayed ACK

Allows systems to delay acknowledgment of received data packets.

Software iSCSI

 

 

Dependent Hardware

 

 

iSCSI

 

 

 

Configure Advanced Parameters for iSCSI

The advanced iSCSI settings control such parameters as header and data digest, ARP redirection, delayed ACK, and so on. Generally, you do not need to change these settings because your ESX host works with the assigned predefined values.

CAUTION Do not make any changes to the advanced iSCSI settings unless you are working with the VMware support team or otherwise have thorough information about the values to provide for the settings.

Procedure

1Access the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box.

2To configure advanced parameters at the initiator level, on the General tab, click Advanced. Proceed to Step 4.

3Configure advanced parameters at the target level.

At the target level, advanced parameters can be configured only for software and dependent hardware iSCSI adapters.

a Select either the Dynamic Discovery tab or Static Discovery tab.

bFrom the list of available targets, select a target to configure and click Settings > Advanced.

4Enter any required values for the advanced parameters you want to modify and click OK to save your changes.

Datastore Refresh and Storage Rescan Operations

The datastore refresh operation updates the datastore lists and storage information, such as the datastore capacity, displayed in the vSphere Client. When you perform datastore management tasks or make changes in the SAN configuration, you might need to rescan your storage.

When you perform VMFS datastore management operations, such as creating a VMFS datastore or RDM, adding an extent, and increasing or deleting a VMFS datastore, your host or the vCenter Server automatically rescans and updates your storage. You can disable the automatic rescan feature by turning off the Host Rescan Filter. See “Turn off vCenter Server Storage Filters,” on page 129.

In certain cases, you need to perform a manual rescan. You can rescan all storage available to your host, or, if you are using the vCenter Server, to all hosts in a folder, cluster, and datacenter.

If the changes you make are isolated to storage connected through a specific adapter, perform a rescan for this adapter.

Perform the manual rescan each time you make one of the following changes.

nCreate new LUNs on a SAN.

nChange the path masking on a host.
