NVMe/TCP Software Adapter Configuration
About this task
The following steps provide a high-level description of the software iSCSI adapter configuration.
Steps
1.
Activate the software NVMe/TCP adapter.
a.
In the vSphere Client, go to the ESXi host.
b.
Click the
Configure
tab.
c.
Under Storage, click
Storage Adapters
and then click the
Add
icon.
d.
Select the NVMe/TCP adapter for each vmnic on the NVMe/TCP virtual switch.
In the example, there should be two NVMe/TCP adapters, one enabled on vmnic1 and the other enabled on vmnic2.
2.
Verify that TCP ports 4420 and 8009 are open (-s specifies source IP). Repeat on both vmk1 and vmk2, and for all storage
IPs visible from each VMkernel port.
$ nc -z -v -s 1.1.1.10 1.1.1.1 4420
Connection to 1.1.1.1 4420 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
$ nc -z -v -s 1.1.1.10 1.1.1.1 8009
Connection to 1.1.1.1 8009 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
3.
Discover and connect to the PowerStore array NVMe/TCP subsystem.
a.
On the
Storage Adapters
window, select one of the vmhba representing an NVMe/TCP adapter.
