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

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?

Thank you. What sort of network addressing should the new interface have in order not to mess up the existing NIC 1?
