One of my resources at EMC, and friend, Chad Sakac, posted a great article on using iSCSI on VMware, and how it works. This is a technical write up, and be really good to forward onto anyone who you know is a VMware or SAN storage engineer. There are of course many advantages to using just about any connection type (FC, IP/NFS, or iSCSI) and my company offers all. This is a unique opportunity to hear what all the major vendors are saying on iSCSI on a joint effort.
From Chad's introduction... "Today’s post is one you don’t often find in the blogosphere, see today’s post is a collaborative effort initiated by me, Chad Sakac (EMC), which includes contributions from Andy Banta (VMware), Vaughn Stewart (NetApp), Eric Schott (Dell/EqualLogic), and Adam Carter (HP/Lefthand), David Black (EMC) and various other folks at each of the companies.
Together, our companies make up the large majority of the iSCSI market, all make great iSCSI targets, and we (as individuals and companies) all want our customers to have iSCSI success."
