ESXi FCoE hosts cannot access volumes however paths are visible
Applies to
- ONTAP
- FCoE
- VMware vSphere
- VMware ESXi
Issue
- LUN paths visible but vCenter ESXi in different location cannot access the datastore using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
Example:
Output of command
esxcli storage core device list
Status : degraded
( means single path )Note: "unknown" means ESXi does not recognize the state of the device or "off" may indicate Permanent Device Loss (PDL)
- Output of vmkwarning.log while trying to access LUN
