I am installing VMWare ESXi 6.0 for the first time and have some questions.
Hardware config is 2 HP DL 360 servers and one HP MSA 2040
The MSA is direct connected to the servers.
On one server we use port A1 and B1 and on the other server A2 and B2.
We want to set it up in failover so if A1 is not responsive it must switch to B1.
I now created vSwitch1 with VMKernel network adapter A1 which is connected to the controller A1 of the MSA
and created vSwitch2 with VMKernel network adapter B1 which is connected to the controller B1 of the MSA.
At the iSCSI Software adapter there is a vmba32 type iSCSI
I added the two vSwitches (1 and 2) there. Added the A1 and B1 ip numbers in the Dynamic Discovery.
Under storage I see the Diskvolume on the MSA.
My question is is this the best way to set this up with VMWare?
When I use this config I can only ping to B1 and not A1 and the same with the other machine can ping to B2 but not A2?
Use with SSH and VMKPing.
