have an account, sign in.
3. Navigate to Other Hardware→Virtual Connect→HP VC 8Gb 24-Port Module.
iSCSI SAN
iSCSI is supported only as a virtual backing store (not a physical server booting from iSCSI or a
virtual machine directly accessing raw iSCSI LUNs).
To use iSCSI, you must provide connectivity to a compatible iSCSI SAN. As with Fibre Channel
storage, the storage vendor generally certifies end-to-end support for an iSCSI storage device.
VMware and Microsoft independently certify third-party devices with their respective operating
systems, hypervisors, and iSCSI initiators. Confirmation of device support by the hypervisor vendor
is a prerequisite to support in Insight Management.
NOTE: For security, reliability, and performance, HP recommends separate, dedicated iSCSI
networks for iSCSI LAN traffic.
iSCSI targets as backing storage for VM guests
HP recommends the following iSCSI targets as backing storage for virtual machine guests:
