How to configure MSA 2060 with exsi host

Iqbal05eee1 — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 07:59:31 GMT

Dear All,

A few days ago, I purchased an HPE 2060 iSCSI storage with 10Gb SR iSCSI SFP 4pk XCVR.

Please note that there is a switch model: cisco Catalyst 2960G in between the exsi host and MSA 2060.

Now I need to know as following

1. How to connect storage to the ESXi host from MSA 2060. I want to use the Software iSCSI adapter in the ESXi host.

2. What types of Optical Fibre cable should I use to connect with 0Gb SR iSCSI SFP 4pk XCVR to Switch ? The distance between MSA 2060 and the switch is only 1 m.

3. For the switch end, what type of SFP port should I use ? same as 10Gb SR iSCSI SFP 4pk XCVR or any SFT port? Is it mandatory for the SFP port to support iSCSI property?

I need a step-by-step procedure with the snapshot.

Hi,

There are couple of configuration guides for help, but they may not directly reference to Cisco switch.
