Here’s a shot of where the iqn is found, rubbed out in blue:Īnd here’s where to paste the iqn into the nimble field:
#Nimble san software#
Highlight the host > Configuration > Storage Adapter > Highlight your iSCSI Software Adapter > Details > Copy the IQN (Also called the WWN or World Wide Name), and paste it into the initiator iqn field. The initiators are best added using iqn.’s of the host. Call the group whatever you’d like.Īfter this, you’ll want to add initiators. Manage Initiator Group > New Initiator Group. In this step, we’ll create the initiator group and then add the initiators for each ESXi host. Once logged into your Nimble Management Console, head to: The Initiator Group will allow you to connect your volumes directly to the IQN’s of the iSCSI Adapters you want to connect to and nothing else. VMware – Bind vmkernel to iSCSI Software Adapter.Here’s what I’m working with:Īnd here are the steps to get your Nimble Array connected to to VMware: This tutorial assumes you have healthy environments with an already networked Nimble Array. Please pay close attention to my notations as some items will not be necessary with later versions of VMware, or later versions will have options in the GUI instead of in the CLI. Some of these steps will be for vCenter 4. This method will give you a volume where you can store VMDK attached storage for your guests. In this post, I’m going to go over the quickest way to get your Nimble SAN connected to a VMware ESXi environment through vCenter.
