Hardware iSCSI Support

At ESX 5.0 and above, hardware iSCSI is supported using the CN1100E CNA card and other Emulex BE3 models. This CNA can be configured using either Dependent iSCSI (the IP address of the system is obtained from the host NIC connections) or Independent iSCSI (the IP address is entered 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:

To set a static IP address, follow these steps:

1.After installing the CN1100E, boot the system. The following text appears :
