Software iscsi using the INtel 10 GB nics was relatively easy to setup. The only issue I ran into is 4.1 recognizes my broadcom nics as being iscsi compatible, but that is not want tI want to use, So I had to make sure when I was in the CLI that I selected the software iscsi and not the hardware dependent iscsi hba.
after this, the fun part starts The main reason I was interested in configuring iSCSI was to test the ability of Snap Drive to create a lun from within a VM using the VMware iSCSI initiators and VMware RDM.
I can create a lun using Snap Drive when the VM is in an NFS datastore. The RDM pointer gets created in a separate dedicated iscsi datastore. Both vmotion and storage vmotion work great.
Next on the agenda is testing snap manager for sql and the ability to connect to existing FC luns create with snap drive.
