You must create a VMkernel to assign
I/O traffic to a vSwitch.
Perform the following steps to create
a VMkernel:
- From the vSphere Client, select
the vSwitch.
- Click Properties.
- Click Add.
- Click VMkernel and click Next.
- Select Use the following IP settings and
enter the IP values that you want to assign to the VMkernel, and then
click Next.
- Click Finish to
complete the procedure.
This VMkernel is used for the
iSCSI traffic.
To test the configuration,
access the target node and ping
the internal IPs that belong to the service console of the VMkernel.
You can also test the configuration from the guest OS by pinging the
target IPs.
