1.2 iSCSI Access
The diagram below gives an overview of accessing the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System using the iSCSI protocol to host Virtual Machine Virtual Disks (vmdk). An iSCSI LUN is exported from the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System and attached using the vmkernel in the VMware ESX host. A VMFS3 file system can be created on the iSCSI LUN to host vmdks, or the iSCSI LUN can be attached directly to a virtual machine using Raw Device Mapping (RDM).
