Today i have been playing around a bit with vCli (http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vcli/) as part of the preparation of the VCAP-DCA exam. It's fun, and it's quite straightforward as soon as you start working with it. Here are the commands i used to add iSCSI storage to server esxi3: iSCSI configuration with vCli Enable iSCSI: vicfg-iscsi.pl --server esxi3 --username root --password <password> --swiscsi -e List iSCSI adapters: vicfg-iscsi.pl --server esxi3 --username root --password <password> --adapter --list In this case: vmhba33 Configure discovery: vicfg-iscsi.pl --server esxi3 --username root --password <password> --add --discovery --ip 192.168.38.250 vmhba33 192.168.38.250 is the IP-address of the FreeNAS iSCSI server i use for this case. Rescan vmhba33: vicfg-rescan.pl --server esxi3 --username root --password <password> vmhba33 Et voila, after the rescan the iSCSI-storage is visible in vCenter |
