Chapter 3 Notes This chapter describes notes when the ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems are connected to the server via iSCSI interface. 3.1 Connection Notes 3.1.1 For VMware vSphere Dedicated IP addresses must be allocated to the iSCSI LAN. An IP address must be allocated to each VMkernel that corresponds to an iSCSI Initiator, and a LAN card and VMkernel must be connected via a virtual switch. For example, a total of four IP addresses are required by the fol- lowing iSCSI connection setup. Ex

Chapter 3 Notes 3.2 VMware ESX Operating Notes 3.1.2 For VMware Infrastructure 3 Dedicated IP addresses must be allocated to the iSCSI LAN. An IP address must be allocated to each VMkernel that corresponds to an iSCSI Initiator, and a LAN card and VMkernel must be connected via a virtual switch. For example, a total of six IP addresses are required by the follow- ing iSCSI connection setup. Example connection configuration VMware ESX server VMkernel (iSCSI Software Initiator) VMkernel (iSC
