ISCSI target from ESXi host LAN port
Hi there
I have an ESXi host with virtual machines on it, and the management network is on LAN port 1 on the physical server.
I wish to expand the storage by using an ISCSi initiator on a virtual machine, looking at a NAS device presented as an ISCSi target on LAN port 2.
How can I do network addressing and configuration on the ESXi host in order to achieve this successfully?
Thanks
BH

Sure - I'm aware the NAS needs to be iSCSI.
Thank you. What sort of network addressing should the new interface have in order not to mess up the existing NIC 1?

So for example if the LAN is 192.168.0.x, what would be a good range for the VM and NAS? Would I need to use a crossover cable?
