ISCSI Software initiator vswitch configuration question

Hi,

I have two ESX 3.5 Build 123630 connected to an IBM DS3300 SAN using the ISCSI software initiator. The SAN has two controllers with IP addresses:-

Controller A

192.168.130.101

192.168.131.101

Controller B

192.168.130.102

192.168.131.102

Screenshot of current networking setup attached.

What is the correct way to configure the networking so it can connect to all 4 ports and have failover in the case of a controller or port failing on the SAN as at the minute I have my ISCSI target on host 1 configured as 192.168.130.101 and on host 2 as 192.168.130.10 which I believe would not provide failover correctly.

Thanks in advance

Trevor

Hello Trevor

I'll answear you in a little bit another way, than you we're expected, I suppose.

Here is the scheme with failover configuration, that we recomend for outr SAN software, but you can use it for your purposes:
