I've recently followed vmware documentation to bind a single software iscsi vmhba to two vmkernal ports (one virtual switch) on the ESXi host side in two of my clusters (completely seperate setups).
On one cluster, I have 2 iSCSI attached VMFS datastores with a handful of iSCSI RDM's. When I look at the performance tab for the NIC's that I have dedicated to iSCSI traffic, I see no traffic (also see no traffic in esxtop).
In the other cluster, I have 2 NFS datastores and way too many iSCSI RDM's. This cluster shows the same thing, the NICs that i have bound to the iSCSI hba do not show any data passing over them. a single port on the management switch has veyr high R/W rates though. this cluster has some significant latency that i'm trying to get rid of.
how can I can check to see what network ports the iSCSI RDM's are using? Why don't I see network traffic on the iSCSI dedicated NICs and should I be able too?
