What are the two iSCSI discovery methods that are supported by an ESXi host?
What are the two iSCSI discovery methods that are supported by an ESXi host?
The second discovery method is Static Discovery, FindTargets (answer “B”).
So, the answer for this question is “B and D”.
Explanation:
Static/Dynamic Discovery: iSCSI uses a method of discovery where the iSCSI initiator can query an iSCSI target for the available LUNs. Static discovery involves a manual configuration, whereas dynamic discovery issues an iSCSI-standard SendTargets command to one of the iSCSI targets on the array. This target then reports all the available targets and LUNs to that particular initiator.
Each provided answer contains within it two methods. So the answer D is correct. Besides, ‘findtargets’ doesn’t exist.
With Dynamic Discovery, each time the initiator contacts a specified iSCSI storage system, it sends the SendTargets request to the system. The iSCSI system responds by supplying a list of available targets to the initiator.
Question: What are the iSCSI discovery methods that are supported by ESXi 5.x hosts?
Incorrect response(s):
Dynamic Discovery, FindTargets
Explanation: The iSCSI discovery methods supported by ESX Server are Static Discovery and SendTargets.
