sample ctl.conf

There is two lun/disk assigned to a target.
But in the vmware esxi iscsi initiator side, it cannot detect the correct EUI/NAA option. Sometimes only single LUN is detected. Sometimes two LUN is detected but the EUI is not the one specified in the config.

For the version:
FreeBSD 10.1 x64.

Comment 2 patdung100 2014-11-19 04:11:39 UTC
I tried FreeNAS 9.3 nightly 20141119.
I take a look on their ctl.conf and I changed my own setting on FreeBSD 10.1 as below. The result is that the two disk/lun is seen in ESXi correctly.
I am not sure the root cause is quote "" or device-id has to match with option product+serial.

target iqn.2010-09.org.openindiana:02:gp2esx-clu {
  auth-group gp2esx-clu

  option unmap on
  device-id "iSCSI Disk      0050562df2d800"

I don't think it's either: quotes get stripped by ctld, and device-ids in your working configuration don't actually match serial - you have the same serial for both disks.

Can you do a little experiment to determine the root cause of the problem?  First, try to remove the "naa" clause from targets (right now you have it set only for one of them) and see if the problem comes back.  If it doesn't, remove "device-id" lines, without adding "naa" clauses back, and try again.  Then remove "serial" lines, without adding "naa" and "device-id" back, and try again.

There are two issues or goals in here:

1) sometimes only one lun is seen
After removing device_id or removing serial. Two lun is seen.

2) customizing / recognize by naa
For FreeBSD 10.1 release, the ESXi iscsi client side is always using t10.
I cannot get it to be identified as eui/naa in the ESXi side.

FYI, in FreeNAS 9.3 BETA, I can specify the option naa 0x3[15 char hex]. And it is recognized by ESXi iscsi client side. I am not sure if it is related to VPD support (freeNAS has added some VPD-080/083?h) support.

Additional testing:

For the same serial number on two LUN in Comment 2 to Comment 4:

The FreeNAS GUI only create a serial number for a target, so all the LUN under the same target have the same serial (but their device ID is different when generated by the GUI).

You can get the FreeNAS software and test.
I extract the config generated by FreeNAS in here:

target iqn.2010-09.org.openindiana:02:gp1esx-clu {
  alias gp1esx-clu
  auth-group no-authentication
  portal-group pg1
  lun 0 {

    blocksize 512
    serial 0050562df2d800
    device-id "iSCSI Disk      0050562df2d8000                 "
    option vendor "FreeBSD"
    option product "iSCSI Disk"
    option revision "0123"
    option naa 0x6589cfc000000000e3e3a9275df70fae
    option insecure_tpc on
  }
  lun 1 {
    option umap on
    path /dev/zvol/storage/gp1esx2-vol1
    blocksize 512
    serial 0050562df2d800

Ok, so, to sum up, the problem with VMWare recognizing only one LUN instead of two seems to be caused by using the same device-id for both LUNs, do I get this right?

As for NAA - what happens if you use the FreeNAS config (or at least the naa clauses) in FreeBSD 10.1?

Yes.

Tried. For FreeBSD 10.1's ctld, esxi only display t10.xxx instead of displaying naa.

If my remembered correctly (it was tested in yesterday):
When trying Linux iscsi client+multipath with FreeBSD 10.1's ctld,
Linux multipath cannot see the naa (a 32char hex string). The client see a combination of the vendor + device-id as the (WWID) identifier (checked by multipath -ll).
Comment 10 Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-22 15:48:37 UTC
Can you try again with NAA values in quotes, like this:

option naa "0x6589cfc0000000006b1df6aa2d0f83ed"

test with naa, with quote on

Below is
1. the setting 

2. result in Linux multipath
3. attached screenshot of result in esxi

Linux/esxi cannot detect the naa option.
Strongly suggest the developer(s) to find a Linux machine to do client side testing.

Comment 12 Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-23 12:32:41 UTC
Turns out it's a bug, fixed in r273640 in HEAD, and MFC-ed to 10-STABLE in r273979.  So, upgrading to 10-STABLE should fix it.
Comment 13 Edward Tomasz Napierala freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-11-29 21:30:47 UTC
LUN enumeration problem was caused by setting the same device-id for several devices; the problem with NAA not being visible to the initiator was fixed in HEAD and 10-STABLE.
