Which iSCSI initiator type can be used with any network interface card?
A.
Software iSCSI initiator
B.
Software FCoE adapter
C.
Hardware Independent iSCSI initiator
D.
Hardware Dependent iSCSI initiator
Explanation:
Software iSCSI Adapter
A software iSCSI adapter is a VMware code built into the VMkernel. It allows your host to connect to the iSCSI
storage device through standard network adapters. The software iSCSI adapter handles iSCSI processing
while communicating with the network adapter. With the software iSCSI adapter, you can use iSCSI technology
without purchasing specialized hardware.

A) Software iSCSI Adapter
A software iSCSI adapter is a VMware code built into the VMkernel. Using the software iSCSI adapter, your host can connect to the iSCSI storage device through standard network adapters. The software iSCSI adapter handles iSCSI processing while communicating with the network adapter. With the software iSCSI adapter, you can use iSCSI technology without purchasing specialized hardware.
B) That’s FibreChannel over Ethernet – nothing about iSCSI
C) A hardware iSCSI adapter is a third-party adapter that offloads iSCSI and network processing from your host. Hardware iSCSI adapters are divided into categories.
D) Implements its own networking and iSCSI configuration and management interfaces.
Typically, an independent hardware iSCSI adapter is a card that either presents only iSCSI offload functionality or iSCSI offload functionality and standard NIC functionality.
