For a cost-effective solution, you can opt for an iSCSI SAN environment (see

Figure 3). It is recommended that you use two iSCSI initiators on the ESX

Server host connected to two separate Ethernet switches that provide

redundant paths to SPs on the storage unit.

Solution Deployment

First Boot Experience (Simple Setup)

The following procedure describes how to perform the basic setup of your

server and assumes that you have already connected a keyboard, monitor, and

mouse, and that you have connected the first onboard NIC to your

management network. The network should have a valid DHCP server and

should be the same network you plan to use when you install the required

management software on a second machine. Ensure the infrastructure

between the two systems is working correctly prior to working with your server

and the VMware management software.
