Hello,
Checking SPOCK for the correct configuration for an MSA 2050 iSCSI array with ESXi 6.5, direct connect is not supported by the iSCSI initiator or VMware.
https://h20272.www2.hpe.com/spock2/Cont/ConfigsetView/index/99256
Troubleshooting an unsupported configuration becomes problematic since HPE has not tested nor qualified these types of configurations.
Cheers,
Shawn
