Does ESXi5 support iSCSI

[johnabraham]

Hi pals

I have two systems with ESXi5.1. & a laptop with RHEL6. Now i have a requirement of a shared storage for both the ESXi5 Hosts. Does ESXi5 supports iSCSI? If it supports & it is configurable, then i can configure the iSCSI shared storage in my RHEL6 for the ESXi hosts.

But i have normal 1gig ethernet card on both ESXi5 Hosts, so how can i discover the iqn can anyone suggest me how to do?

thanks

ESXi does support iSCSI.   You'll want to configure your Linux host as a target and then the software iSCSI adapter within ESXi.  See chapter 11 of this guide for more details - .  http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-511-sto....  For a test environment you'll be find with 1 GB NICs on your hosts.
