One thing which caught me out (and at least one other person in the comments) note the line:Īt the port group level: A single NIC is set as active. Now is the fun bit, where I break it again to figure out exactly what all the different options do. To do so select Networking > VMkernel NICs > Add VMkernel NIC.įirstly, THANK YOU - I'm on page 1 with ESXi, just learning from the start, so I didn't 100% understand everything I was doing, but following your step by step got me running iSCSI.
Networking ^įirst, we need to add a VMkernel network interface card (NIC) to our system so the ESXi host can connect to the remote storage device.
Note that if you're managing a vCenter server-based VMware infrastructure, you'll still need an Adobe Flash plugin. You don't need plugins, and you can just connect through the URL (replace "ip_of_ESXi" with your installation's IP address). One advantage of the HTML5 host client is that you don't need to install any software on your management computer because you connect via a web browser. We'll be using the new HTML5 host client, which is different than the old Windows client. Network switch between shared storage and the ESXi host.Shared storage offering the iSCSI protocol.At least one ESXi host with two physical NICs (management and storage traffic).And you don't have the possibility to move VMs from one host to another using vMotion technology. However, because you don't have a central management server (VMware vCenter server), you can only manage your VMs individually, host by host.
You can then have several free ESXi hosts accessing the same datastore.
