I have a iscsi san, I created using starwind and I have two esx host servers I want to connect it two using an cisco 3550 switch. How do I configure the switch? this switch will only be connected to the san and two servers and not the rest of the network<br />
I have 4 nic cards on all three of the devices, would it be wise to have two nics connected from each server to the storage and the other two nics for VMs to use?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
