Configuring vSphere 4 Using iSCSI SAN
Figure 4 shows a vSphere 4 configuration using iSCSI SAN. The iSCSI SAN
provides a cost-effective solution. It is recommended to use two iSCSI
initiators on the ESXi host connected to two separate ethernet switches to
provide redundant paths to the storage processors on the storage system.
