Support for ESX iSCSI initiators with SnapDrive for Windows
SnapDrive for Windows enables the use of ESX iSCSI initiators to provide LUN provisioning and Snapshot copy management operations in a guest OS.
Note: The iSCSI initiators must be configured on the ESX server before you can use them with SnapDrive. See your VMware documentation for more information on configuring ESX iSCSI initiators on the ESX server.
SnapDrive provides support for ESX iSCSI initiators for the following:
LUN enumeration using either the SnapDrive MMC or sdcli.exe.
LUN migration with VMotion for LUNs connected with ESX iSCSI initiators
Creation of initiator groups using ESX iSCSI initiators
Physical mode RDMs using iSCSI initiators
A maximum of 56 LUNs are supported in the guest OS.
ESX iSCSI initiator limitations SnapDrive supports the use of ESX iSCSI initiators, but there are some limitations you must keep in mind.
