Is iSCSI Supported under ESX 2.5.4?

[drhoover]

We currently have a single ESX host running v2.5.4. As part of the long range plan, we hope to be able to move to v3.x on a new host using iSCSI NAS. As an interim solution we would like to be able to back up the existing VM's to the NAS before bringing up the 3.x system. Is iSCSI supported by v2.5.4?

Unfortunatley no: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx_SAN_guide.pdf (you can check out this guide to see what SANs are supported).
