When using a hardware iSCSI initiator with an ESXi host, which two tasks are performed by VMKernel? (Choose two)
A.
Encapsulation of iSCSI PDUs TCP/IP packets
B.
Mapping requests for blocks on the virtual disk to blocks on the appropriate physical device
C.
Issuing SCSI commands to the virtual disk
D.
Encapsulation of I/O requests into iSCSI Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
Explanation:
Using HW iSCSI adapter it will offload from the VMkernel to the HW iSCSI adapter:
Encapsulation of iSCSI PDUs TCP/IP packets And Encapsulation of I/O requests into iSCSI Protocol Data Units (PDUs) Hence the VMkernel does not perform these two tasks making these the correct answers: Mapping requests for blocks on the virtual disk to blocks on the appropriate physical device
And Issuing SCSS commands to the virtual disk
