Hi all,
I'm having a strange issue crop up between VMs built in Workstation 8 under Windows 7 and opened in the Linux version (on CentOS 6.2). The VMs are two ESXi 5 hosts and one FreeNAS filer that I built for a teaching scenario.
Under Windows, all of the VMs can talk to each other nicely using a few LAN Segments I set up for iSCSI, Production and Management LANs.
If I open the VMs on a Linux host with the same LAN segments created (with the exact same names), the ESXi hosts cannot connect to the iSCSI portal on the FreeNAS filer. I can ping the iSCSI portal from a management VM (Windows XP) and from other VMs that I connect to those LAN segments (even VMs brought over from the same Windows-based Workstation 8 host).
I've poked around in the forums and found a couple of threads mentioning assigning group rights to the VMNets under Linux but given that they are LAN segments, I do not think this applies. I've set up various host-based VMNets to try and work around this issue but have had no success. I'd like to avoid bridging the VMs to an external network just to facilitate teaching in a Linux environment.
Anyone have any ideas?
