ESX Configuration Guide

 

This type of adapter can be a card that presents a standard network adapter

 

and iSCSI offload functionality for the same port. The iSCSI offload

 

functionality depends on the host's network configuration to obtain the IP,

 

MAC, and other parameters used for iSCSI sessions. An example of a

 

dependent adapter is the iSCSI licensed Broadcom 5709 NIC.

Independent Hardware

Implements its own networking and iSCSI configuration and management

iSCSI Adapter

interfaces.

 

An example of an independent hardware iSCSI adapter is a card that either

 

presents only iSCSI offload functionality or iSCSI offload functionality and

 

standard NIC functionality. The iSCSI offload functionality has independent

 

configuration management that assigns the IP, MAC, and other parameters

 

used for the iSCSI sessions. An example of a independent adapter is the QLogic

 

QLA4052 adapter.

Hardware iSCSI adapters might need to be licensed. Otherwise, they will not appear in the vSphere Client or vSphere CLI. Contact your vendor for licensing information.

Setting Up Independent Hardware iSCSI Adapters

An independent hardware iSCSI adapter is a specialized third-party adapter capable of accessing iSCSI storage over TCP/IP. This iSCSI adapter handles all iSCSI and network processing and management for your ESX system.

The setup and configuration process for the independent hardware iSCSI adapters involves these steps:

1Check whether the adapter needs to be licensed. See your vendor documentation.

2Install the adapter.

For installation information, see vendor documentation.

3Verity that the adapter is installed correctly.

See “View Independent Hardware iSCSI Adapters,” on page 94.

4Configure discovery addresses.

See “Configuring Discovery Addresses for iSCSI Initiators,” on page 99.

5Configure CHAP parameters.

See “Configuring CHAP Parameters for iSCSI Adapters,” on page 100.

For your host to be able to access iSCSI storage, you must first install the hardware iSCSI adapter and configure discovery address and CHAP parameters.

View a hardware iSCSI adapter to verify that it is correctly installed and ready for configuration.

Prerequisites

After you install a hardware iSCSI adapter, it appears on the list of storage adapters available for configuration. You can view its properties.

Required privilege: Host.Configuration.Storage Partition Configuration

Procedure

1Log in to the vSphere Client, and select a host from the inventory panel.
