I have no idea how to explain this other than just saying what I have and what I'm trying to do.
So I have a synology NAS 1513+. it has 2 4TB enterprise drives. I created a iscsi target and LUN of 500GB.
I've created a iSCSI data store with the iSCSI adapter. It's linked to the synology NAS
My VM Host is an Intel NUC with a core i5 and 16GB RAM and it's running hypervisor 5.5 the latest and greated iso. If you're not familiar with the Intel NUC it's a small 4in by 4in vy 1in block that's pretty beefy for its size. It's also low power and low cost. The only problem is it only has one NIC.
On the host I created a VM on the iSCSI data store.
I can boot up the VM and everything appears fine but it's not able to obtain an IP address. Even if I enter in a static IP I still can't get anywhere.
I've heard other people do this so I didn't think it would be a problem. So is it a problem to have the VM on an iSCSI data store trying to obtain an IP address using the same NIC that the iSCSI is on? I am pretty sure I've done this before so I don't understand why this isn't working now.
Any thoughts?
Much appreciated!
Thanks!
