Hi Team,
I have a doubt about this "Storage vmotion traffic flow for ISCSI"
https://devstime.com/2021/07/19/misconception-about-vmotion-traffic-usage/
I have a cluster with 10 nodes that are connected to ISCSi storage(Pure storage + EMC storage).It uses the same 2 * 10 G NICs
I use the ISCSI software adapter on all the ESXi hosts.Each ESXi has 2 * 10 G NICs for ISCSI traffic
I created a VMkernel port "vmk1" on each ESXi(no services selected) and binded 2 * 10 G NICs on ESXi ISCSI software adapter.
Questions:
1) I have not selected the "provisioning" service for ISCSi. During hot storage migration between the same storage or other storage, it will use those 2*10G binded ISCSi NICs(vmk1) ?
2) During cold storage migration between the same storage or other storage, it will again use those 2*10G binded ISCSi NICs(vmk1) ?
Also how to see the traffic flow either from ESXi or command line?
Any idea?
Thank you,
Manivel RR
