ISCSI HA VMware Setup
To configure iSCSI for HA operation with VMware, use the following instructions.
First locate your VIP (virtual IP address you assigned during SNAP HA installation).
In this example is 172.16.150.234 and we will use it later.
Then go to your ESXi host through VI client and create a new standard switch with a new vmkernel with an IP on to the same subnet of our VIP.
In order to do this you have to have a free physical nic on your ESXi.
Click on the ESXi host .Configuration -> Networking -> Add Networking
Choose VMkernel and click Next
Choose your physical NIC that is free and click Next
Put an IP that corresponds in your VIP’s subnet click Next and after OK.
Next go to configuration tab -- > storage adapters and click properties
On the network configuration tab click add to add the vmkernel which we will use for iscsi port binding
Then on “Dynamic discovery” click “Add” to put our VIP address press OK and on rescan choose yes.
Now that your ESXi found the iscsi controller add your Datastore and follow the on-screen instructions.
Configuration -- > Storage -- > Add storage -- > Disk LUN
