Chapter 3 Notes
This chapter describes notes when the ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems are connected to
the server via iSCSI interface.
3.1 Connection Notes
3.1.1 For VMware vSphere
Dedicated IP addresses must be allocated to the iSCSI LAN. An IP address must be allocated to
each VMkernel that corresponds to an iSCSI Initiator, and a LAN card and VMkernel must be
connected via a virtual switch. For example, a total of four IP addresses are required by the fol-
lowing iSCSI connection setup.
