There are only 4 NICs available, 1 was going to be used for host LAN connectivity and the other 3 would be allocated to each of the 3 virtual servers. Would it be best to simply use the secondary NAS...

With the 4 NICs you mentioned, I'm missing the iSCSI connectivity!?Regarding HA, you can enable HA for a cluster with the two hosts to ensure the VM's - previously running on the failed host - are...

From your initial post I assumed you wanted to present the iSCSI LUNs to the ESXi host, but from your latest post it looks like you want to use an in-guest iSCSI initiator!? Anyway where would you...

We would be after storing the virtual machines on the iSCSI LUN to allow them to be booted of the secondary host. In short, we are looking at implmeneting a system that provides failover using HA in...
