Re: iscsi resize -vmware datastore cannot increase size

[Steven Vacaroaia <stef97@xxxxxxxxx>]

the error seems to indicate mismatched passwords 

on the gwcli host , /var/log/messages contains the following

osd02 kernel: CHAP user or password not set for Initiator ACL
Oct 25 10:37:22 osd02 kernel: Security negotiation failed.
Oct 25 10:37:22 osd02 kernel: iSCSI Login negotiation failed.
Oct 25 10:37:22 osd02 kernel: CHAP user or password not set for Initiator ACL
Oct 25 10:37:22 osd02 kernel: Security negotiation failed.
Oct 25 10:37:22 osd02 kernel: iSCSI Login negotiation failed.

However, I (re)entered auth details in gwcli which seems fine 

iscsi-target...san1-7bb6d7ac> info
Client Iqn .. iqn.1998-01.com.vmware:vsan1-7bb6d7ac
Ip Address .. 10.10.35.111

Auth

- rbd.vmware01 .. lun_id=1

What am I missing ???

spoke to soon

still same issue event after re entering credentials 

here is an excerpt from ESXi server

 [esx.problem.storage.iscsi.discovery.login.error] iSCSI discovery to 10.10.35.202 on vmhba64 failed. The Discovery target returned a login error of: 0201.

I can confirm that, after reentering credentials for the target on each ESXi server and rescanning storage, the device appear and datastore can be increased 

Thanks for your help and patience

I noticed this 

[vob.iscsi.discovery.login.error] discovery failure on vmhba64 to 10.10.35.202 because the target returned a login status of 0201.

A restart of rbd services will require reentering chap credentials on targets ?

Did you rescan the LUNs in VMware after this latest resize attempt?
What kernel and tcmu-runner version are you using?
