ESX Server 2 could store virtual machines only on SCSI disks and on Fibre Channel SANs. ESX Server 3 can store virtual machines on NAS and iSCSI as well, providing the benefits of virtual infrastructure to low cost storage configurations. iSCSI LUNs, like Fibre Channel LUNs, can be formatted with the VMware file system (VMFS). Each virtual machine will reside in a single directory. Network attached storage (NAS) appliances must present file systems over the NFS protocol for ESX Server to be able to use them. NFS mounts will be used like VMFS, with the ESX Server creating one directory for each virtual machine.
iSCSI Storage
H/W iSCSI: DHCP is Not Supported
Description: DHCP assigned addresses for the qla4010 are not supported.
Workaround: Use static IP addresses for the iSCSI initiator.
H/W iSCSI: Poor performance when
