<p>Tkalix: </p> <hr /> <div>Hello,<br /> I have read though this article and made my own iscsi storage device for vSphere. I also managed to get the Multipath working, together with using vmware's round-robin mpio.<br /> <br /> The image below shows my configuration, using a home-made server with Raid 50, two switches and an off-load iSCSI NIC with two ethernet ports. The storage server runs an Redhat-Linux with the scst-iscsi daemon.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Home-made-san.jpg]]<br /> <br /> <br /> To configure mpio I have done the follwing steps:<br /> * configure routing on the storage server: <br /> route add 10.252.0.11/32 eth1<br /> route add 10.252.0.12/32 eth2<br /> * manually add the corresponding ip-address to the nic (10.252.0.13 to vmhba34 and 10.252.0.10 to vmhba33)<br /> * if I do ping-tests from the storage-server to the esxi-box, the packets come back from the expected interface <br /> * the statistics (eg ifconfig) of the two nics show about the same throughput, indicating the mpio is working fine.<br /> * I do not have any experience with vSphere 5<br /> * if you are using the software-iscis from ESXi, you may use two different subnets. I have not testet this, so it is mainly an idea.</div>

I also managed to get the Multipath working, together with using vm'wares round-robin mpio.<br /> I would like to contribute my documentation (including a chart with the network layout). What is the best way to do this? Can I just wirte down things here?<br /> <br /> -- Torsten.</div>
