Connecting hosts to storage with Direct Access Cable (DAC)

Hi.

Can anyone please tell me is it possible to connect HP hosts to MSA 1040 10Gb iSCSi with Direct Access Cable, without switch?

From HP employers I got information that it will not work with VMware.

Thanks.

If you controller and hba is supported than I don't think so you can not connect.

I will suggest you to give a try but definitely this would not be HA solution .

If you find any answer useful. please mark the answer as correct or helpful.
