Setting up external VMFS over iSCSI storage for a VxRail
Follow these guidelines to set up your VxRail for use with a VMFS datastore over iSCSI.
Refer to the VMware documentation, Configuring iSCSI Adapters and Storage, while setting up external iSCSI storage for your VxRail.
The general steps to configure iSCSI storage for VxRail include the following :
- Set up the iSCSI network portgroup.
- Set up an active software iSCSI adapter.
- Configure multipath policy for the iSCSI storage device.
- Create a new VMFS datastore over iSCSI.
All the steps are done using the vSphere Client. A software iSCSI adapter allows standard NICs to connect ESXi hosts to a remote iSCSI target on the IP network. A VLAN and vSphere distributed switch are used. For details please refer to the VMware documentation, About the Software iSCSI Adapter.
