c Make sure that you are using the existing switch, and click Next.
d Complete configuration, and click Finish.
What to do next
Change the network policy for all VMkernel adapters, so that only one physical network adapter is active
for each VMkernel adapter. You can then bind the VMkernel adapters to the appropriate iSCSI adapters.
Change Network Policy for iSCSI
If you use a single vSphere Standard switch to connect multiple VMkernel adapters to multiple network
adapters, set up the network policy for this configuration. Only one physical network adapter must be
active for each VMkernel adapter.
By default, for each VMkernel adapter on the vSphere Standard switch, all network adapters appear as
active. You must override this setup, so that each VMkernel adapter maps to only one corresponding
active physical. For example, vmk1 maps to vmnic1, vmk2 maps to vmnic2, and so on.
Prerequisites
Create a vSphere Standard switch that connects VMkernel with physical network adapters designated for
iSCSI traffic. The number of VMkernel adapters must correspond to the number of physical adapters on
the vSphere Standard switch.
Procedure
1 Navigate to the host.
2 Click the Configure tab.
3 Under Networking, click Virtual switches, and select the vSphere switch that you want to modify
from the list.
4 Select the VMkernel adapter and click the Edit Settings icon.
5 On the Edit Settings wizard, click Teaming and Failover and select Override under Failover Order.
6 Designate only one physical adapter as active and move all remaining adapters to the Unused
Adapters category.
7 Repeat Step 4 through Step 6 for each iSCSI VMkernel interface on the vSphere Standard switch.
Example: iSCSI Network Policy
The following table illustrates the proper iSCSI mapping where only one physical network adapter is
active for each VMkernel adapter.
