Hello everybody, this is my situation:
I got two scenarios, one of testing and one of production.
Both scenarios has 2 IBM servers (testing 2 x IBM x346 and production, 1 IBM x3400 and 1 IBM x3200) all four only has local disk for storage.
All has ESXi 4.1 U2 installed on.
On both scenarios I got some VMs and one of them has FreeNAS (8.0.3 on testing and now 8.0.4 on production) installed on.
On both scenarios I configure the FreeNAS and ESXi following this: http://www.vladan.fr/how-to-configure-freenas-8-for-iscsi-and-connect-to-esxi/
On both scenarios I configure ghettoVCB to backup VMs and send the backups to the shared storage from FreeNAS.
On testing scenario, everything going fine and after one week of test, I implement the solution on production and it never work.
The ESXi lost and reestablish the connection all the time, the speed sucks, and so on.
This is a part of the log from ESXi:
