ISCSI Lun to VM quest using same Physical Nic of Host

scenario

physical host with 4 nics. 2 connected to prod vlan and 2 dedicated to iscsi datastore

vm's are using the dedicated datastore

We are looking into the possible config of allocating a new seperate iscsi lun to a vm. Using a virtual nic connected to the same vswitch that the host is using. Thereby sharing the physical isci nic.

Not sure if this is a recommneded practise or not. Has anyone attempted this?
