Hi,
I'm wondering what the best Storage Adapter configuration would be in the following scenario to provide Host NIC and SAN Controller redundancy. The SAN will be plugged directly into each host as I do not have a gigabit switch available at this time which means each point to point link will be in it's own subnet as below.
Host 1:
iSCSI_A1: 192.168.1.2/30
iSCSI_B1: 192.168.1.5/30
Host 2:
iSCSI_A2: 192.168.1.9/30
iSCSI_B2: 192.168.1.13/30
iSCSI SAN:
Host A1: 192.168.1.3/30
Host B1: 192.168.1.6/30
Host A2: 192.168.1.10/30
Host B2: 192.168.1.14/30
According to the article, VMware KB: Considerations for using software iSCSI port binding in ESX/ESXi, I shouldn't use Port Bindings as each link is in a separate broadcast domain. Does that mean I should set up 2 Software iSCSI Adapters on each ESX Host and just use dynamic discovery?
Thanks for any help.
