Dell md3000i iSCSI SAN compatibility with ESXi 5.x

If I had to guess, I bet it will still work. Although, that is a bit aggravating to hear because we just got our MD3000i last year, and I PROMISE my company won't let me get a new SAN.

Using it just fine here. Dual MDI300i's with a MD100 shelf on each. Upgraded VCenter to 5 and then all 10 Dell 1955 Blade hosts and have had no issues at all.

That is really great to hear..... Thanks for sharing.Do you know what FW you are on with your MD3000i's? Are you using the software initiators? Details please,

FYI, the dell MD3000 is not an "I". It is a direct attached scsi device. I believe the question was regarding the MDI3000i and I can verify proper functionality.

Thanks, it does seem to be a different FW than what we are running..... 07.35.31.60 is what ours say. Maybe that rumour was true about that July update.
