OpenFiler is a great system to implement NAS (Network Attached Storage) in a network using general purpose hardware.
On the ‘Net you can find great tutorial about how to setup with VMWare ESX servers, but it contains one important mistake:
When you define the ACL the netmask for every host is /32 or 255.255.255.255. Using /24 or 255.255.255.0 will prevent connection to OpenFiler.
I’ve tested and found it working with VMWare ESXi 3.5 free server.
That was really gr8 info… was struggling to fix it up. Gr8 work. Keep going.
Glad it helped you. Ciao.
