Re: MSA2012i on vSphere HCL for Software iSCSI?
this is not a problem of HP, this is a problem of VMware. They doesn't support their software initiator with the MSA2012i. You can use hardware initiators from Qlogic to get support. Try to get an answer of the Vmware support. Maybe they will certify it in the future.
Best regards,
Patrick

Re: MSA2012i on vSphere HCL for Software iSCSI?
The LsiLogic part refers to the VM's. They must be set to Lsilogic not Buslogic. So the software initiator part works fine with that array just make sure to use the Lsilogic not the buslogic for the VM's.
So, it looks like we're good to go for MSA2012i's and vSphere. It doesn't look like it will do the ALUA stuff, but at least it will run and be supported.

Re: MSA2012i on vSphere HCL for Software iSCSI?
I think you also posted on the VMware forums here:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1503066
I have a case open with vmware right now referencing that post. They are just sending me to the HCL list like I can't read. lol
Would you be able to post your two case numbers so that I could reference them in my ticket. I may also try to start another one with HP and reference both as well.
Also, Per this forum, Ryan is here in Omaha at another location and he did move ahead with vSphere and hasn't had any problems yet.
Thanks
Jason
