Ports used for Accelerated ISCSI
Hello,
We have a C7000 chassis with two Flex 10GB/24 port modules and a mixture of Gen 7 and Gen 8 blades.
My questions are:
Can I use any uplink port for accelerated ISCSI, or just Port X5?
(All the docs seems to use this port)
If I can use more than one port from each module, say ports X5 and X6, is there any problem with connecting both ports as a Virtual Port Channel across two Nexus switches?
Do I need to use a specific FlexNic for accelrated ISCSI?
And one other thing. On some of the Blades, we have Qlogic 534FLB 2 port adapters. The ISCSI cookbook mentions an additional utility required for configuring the Broadcom and Emulex adapters but not one for the QLogic adapters. Do I need one for these and if yes, what's it called?
Many thanks in advance,

Re: Ports used for Accelerated ISCSI

A: I dont think this matters. iSCSI is a network VLAN so should just work down any uplink

No, its good practice
Q: Do I need to use a specific FlexNic for accelrated ISCSI?
Yes the B ports are Accelerated iSCSI. Lom1b and Lom2b on the first FlexNIC. Other ports will work as non accelerated iSCSI

Dont know on that one
