Bind iSCSI Adapters with VMkernel Adapters

Bind an iSCSI adapter with a VMkernel adapter.
Prerequisites

Create a virtual VMkernel adapter for each physical network adapter on your host. If you use multiple VMkernel adapters, set up the correct network policy.

Required privilege: Host.Configuration.Storage Partition Configuration
Procedure
1

Log in to the vSphere Client, and select a host from the inventory panel.
2

Click the Configuration tab, and click Storage Adapters in the Hardware panel.

The list of available storage adapters appears.
3

Select the software or dependent iSCSI adapter to configure and click Properties.
4

In the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box, click the Network Configuration tab.
5

Click Add and select a VMkernel adapter to bind with the iSCSI adapter.

You can bind the software iSCSI adapter to one or more VMkernel adapters. For a dependent hardware iSCSI adapter, only one VMkernel interface associated with the correct physical NIC is available.
6

Click OK.

The network connection appears on the list of VMkernel port bindings for the iSCSI adapter.
7

Verify that the network policy for the connection is compliant with the binding requirements.
