Dell PowerVault MD32xxi Configuration Guide for VMware ESX4.1 Server Software

To verify the configuration enter the following command:

esxcfg-vswitch –l

The output will look similar to this:

Switch Name

This will show the VMkernel ports that are assigned to the vSwitch. To verify the IP addresses enter the following command:

esxcfg-vmknic –l

The output will look similar to the graphic below.

You can also verify the IP Addresses via the vCenter GUI. In vCenter, on the ESX Host, navigate to

Configuration -> Networking.

Step3: Assign Network Adapters

The next step in the process is to assign the network adapters (NICs) that will be attached to the iSCSI network and used for iSCSI traffic. These will be attached to the vSwitch2 that we created earlier. This can be done two ways, in the vCenter GUI or by CLI.

To list all of the adapters in the system run the following command:
