Hardware iSCSI Support
At ESX 5.0 and above, hardware iSCSI is supported using the CN1100E CNA card and other
Emulex BE3 models. Configure this CNA using:
• Dependent iSCSI — obtain the IP address from the host NIC connections.
• Independent iSCSI — enter the IP address into the CNA card.
The CN1100E can be configured to boot from SAN; SCSI targets are entered into the card.
For general information about the CN1100E and other BE3 models supported, see the HP SPOCK
website:
www.hp.com/storage/spock
Independent Hardware iSCSI
To set a static IP address, follow these steps:
1. After installing the CN1100E, boot the system. The following text appears if you configured
your CN1100E to operate in iSCSI instead of FCoE mode; otherwise, use <Ctrl> <P> to
switch protocols:
Emulex 10Gb iSCSI Initiator BIOS..
Press <Ctrl> <S> for iSCSISelect(TM) Utility
2. Press Ctrl+S to enter the utility.
