vNICs for iSCSI on Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter
The
ENOS
vNIC
feature
works
with
standard
network
applications
like
iSCSI
as
previously
described.
However,
the
Emulex
Virtual
Fabric
Adapter
for
Lenovo
Flex
System
expects
iSCSI
traffic
to
occur
only
on
a
single
vNIC
pipe.
When
using
the
Emulex
Adapter
2,
only
vNIC
pipe
2
may
participate
in
iSCSI.
To
configure
the
switch
for
this
solution,
iSCSI
traffic
should
be
placed
in
its
own
vNIC
group,
comprised
of
the
external
uplink
port
leading
to
the
iSCSI
target,
and
the
related
<port>
.2
vNIC
pipes
connected
to
the
participating
servers.
For
example:
1.
Enable
the
vNIC
feature
on
the
switch.
2.
Configure
the
virtual
pipes
for
the
iSCSI
vNICs
attached
to
each
internal
port:
Note:
vNICs
are
not
supported
simultaneously
on
the
same
switch
ports
as
VMready.
3.
Add
ports
and
virtual
pipes
to
a
vNIC
group.
