Bro this video was insanely useful. My lab environment utilizes a UDM Pro, synology NAS and vcenter with a couple ESXI hosts. Absolutely incredible how informative this was. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
Got ISCSI configured on the Synology with unidirectional chap. When I add the IQN in Vcenter and put the username / password and rescan the storage, the storage does not get presented to VMware ? Have tried adding in both Dynamic Discovery and Static Discovery but can't see to find the storage. Any ideas what else i can check ?
Just a curios question - how to identify the LUN and pair it with device in VMware? For example if I need to delete particular datastore, I delete it, I unmount the device, how do I know which LUN on Synology it is ?
Wouldn't it better to create MC-LAG between the switches and Synology on 10Gbps interfaces and do trunking for vlan 100 & 101? I guess it will create a bigger 20Gbps pipe for iSCSI traffic since multiple hosts are accessing the Synology LUN.
What I know is that any kind of bonding is a big no-no for iSCSI. Bonding could/should be used for NFS, but iSCSI should be configured with multipath ...

Very Very Help full video. Very complete. Grettings from Honduras. ¿What do you think about NFS vs iSCSI in Synology?

Thank you very much for the info, I am going to make a configuration similar to yours, I will tell you how I go in the tests
you are a crack
