How to setup VSA Demo with separate management and iSCSI networks connected to vSphere?
This keeps my iSCSI traffic isolated.
Can this be done in the VSA? I do not have a router so I cannot create a route between the management and iSCSI networks.
What is the general best practice for setting up the VSA with multiple NICs for ESX?
Thanks.

Re: How to setup VSA Demo with separate management and iSCSI networks connected to vSphere?
The VSA, like the physical hardware equivilant, is managed from the iSCSI network.
Is your management box physical? or virtual?
If virtual, can you add another vNIC to it and put that on the iSCSI network? If physical, do you have a spare nic on the box?
The 2 NIC's the VSA support I believe can only be teamed or otherwise/similarly configured to be on the same network.
My lab servers are offline this week sinced I am in training. I'll try to see what other options there are in the console sometime tonight.

Re: How to setup VSA Demo with separate management and iSCSI networks connected to vSphere?
I have a management, 2 x iSCSI, VM, and Vmotion networks configged.
I could put a VM on the iSCSI network to manage it, but it would just take up more resources on my local machine. Once you use CMC to configure the VSA and the volumes, can you then just turn the CMC VM off? Does the VSA have everything it needs?
Thanks

After power-on you must manually enable the interface via the VM console and enter the IP parameters.
According to the documentation, you're not allowed to bond those interfaces in the VSA - use the ESX NIC teaming.

But can that second interface be on a separate iSCSI network. So that the mgmt and iscsi networks are separate?
Thanks

So I _beleive_ (corrections/additions welcome):
- The second interface MUST be in a separate IP subnet.
- It should be possible to run iSCSI data traffic through one vNIC and management traffic through the other.
Can you try it out in your environment and let us know?

Do admins normally add a route from the admin network to the iSCSI network to facilitate management?
I was under the impression that management was separate nics from the SAN traffic?
Thanks

I'm trying to add the second NIC on the VSA.
Has anybody got the CLI to do so?
