What are thevSAN iSCSI target limitations.
I have an Oracle RAC server that needs to have 2 iSCSI networks for resilience.
Can i have 2 VMks connect to 1 iSCSI taget lun?
Hi,
This is all covered off here
Yes you can have two vmk ports to the same Lun and it's considered best practise. Just have the vmk on two different hosts in the vSAN
For the limitations look here
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/57344
Unsupported usage as a target for other ESXi hosts
Unsupported usage with third-party hypervisors
Migrations using raw device mapping (RDMs)
No support for Multiple Connections per Session (MCS)
Hi There bmcb555
Thanks for your reply, I tried configuring this already but wasn't able to do so.
I have an existing target already then i went in to edit the target, in the network option i am able to select only one vmk from the drop down. want i need to do is not listed in the limitations but it could well be.
are you able to provide steps on how to configure this?
Thanks
When you have selected a vmk, it is enabled on all hosts in the vSAN cluster for that vmk. E.g if you used vmk1 it'll be vmk1 on host 1, 2 and 3.
You then configure each vmk IP as a discovery target on the initiator side. You can see this is what is done here
Thanks for responses. It does look like its a vSAN iSCSI limitation.
