I have 2 x3650M2 servers with qLogic QLE 4062c iscsi hba (1 adapter per server). I'm performing initial setup on them. When I use the ESXi interface to set the IPs, it sets the IP, and 'Recent Tasks' shows that it's completed successfully. However a few moments later, the IP address on each interface will change back to 0.0.0.0, although the iscsi alias I have remains. I cannot ping these IPs, but my storage unit IPs do respond to pings, so I'm pretty sure the switch is OK. When I reboot the server and go into the iscsi bios, the IPs are set to the IPs I chose. For each HBA, I have each interface connected to 2 separate Cisco 3560G switches for fault tolerance.
This seems very strange to me, any ideas?
P.S. This seems like the exact same problem as another person saw but there's no resolution posted: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1474593

Hi Anatoly, thanks, you are correct. This is my first time setting up iSCSI HBAs. I went to the iSCSI bios, cleared everything and set the IPs from there. and it's showing up correctly now. Appreciate your response!
