Example - Configuring iSCSI Networking
About this task
The steps below demonstrate configuring networking for a PowerStore operating system 2.x with a single virtual standard
switch and CLI.
NOTE:
For a detailed procedure for configuring networking, see VMware documentation.
NOTE:
Some of the output texts may be wrapped.
Steps
1.
List current switches.
Verify that the vSwitch name that you intend to use is not in use.
$ esxcli network switch standard list | grep Name
2.
Create a new virtual Standard Switch.
$ esxcli network vswitch standard add -v iSCSI
3.
List current VMkernel interfaces.
Use a VMK number that is not currently in use.
$ esxcli network ip interface ipv4 address list
Name IPv4 Address
IPv4 Netmask
IPv4 Broadcast
Address Type
Gateway
