Hi,
We have one esx 5.1 server connected to a storage device that is iscsi based.
the server is connected using two iscsi vmkernal ports. each nic has a different ip on the private iscsi vlan. the setup is as per vm bast practice using only one nic per vmkernal port.
we need to do a storage migration to some other storage but i have yet to intall it. i would like to know if its possible to create two additional vmkernal port groups using the same nics already connected to iscsi storage. the new port groups are on a seperate vlan and different netwok so from looking it just looks like i am sharing the two nics for two different iscsi networks.
as mentioned above i have not installed the hardware yet but from a little testing it looks like i can add the port groups using the nic and i have managed to bind them to the vmhbaxx with the storage adaptor with the path staus as not used. so hopefully when i connect the new sorage i should hopefully be able to connect once i setup a discovery?
any comments welcome.
thanks
