Additional NICs for iSCSI
When installing additional NICs, it is recommended that:
• You use dedicated redundant storage networks for iSCSI traffic.
If a dedicated network is not feasible, isolate the iSCSI traffic from
general network traffic using virtual local area networks (VLAN).
• You use additional NICs dedicated for iSCSI traffic.
• The NICs must be added in pairs for redundancy (up to four NICs).
NOTE:
NIC Configuration
In a SAN environment, depending on the number of switches, it is
recommended that you use two or four unique subnets for iSCSI traffic.
For direct-attached storage environments, each NIC directly connected to
the PowerVault MD3200i series storage array must be on a separate subnet.
