esxi 6.5 iscsi equallogic, Initiator disconnected from target during login
Ok, I have spent a couple hours on this and cannot seem to figure it out.
Backstory: I have a couple equallogic arrays in a group with a volume setup via iscsi with CHAP auth. I have some previously setup esxi 5.5 hosts connected to it working just fine. We just got some new hardware and I want to migrate to that so I installed esxi 6.5 on each of the new hosts, setup a vswitch with a NIC and configured the iSCSI adapter as I have always done.
The problem is when the iSCSI adapter tries to login it looks like the Equallogic is rejecting it or something. As this is what I am getting from the EQL and the ESXi host obviously cannot see the volumes nor actually keep the connection.
iSCSI login to target '192.168.X.X:3260, iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-8a0906-539c75903-11f0000001c5473c-vmpool' from initiator '192.168.X.X:21366, iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:ag-esxi1-7241e9f5' failed for the following reason: Initiator disconnected from target during login.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
