Connecting ESXi to multiple iSCSI SANs

[jasonsfa98]

I have a rather small setup that consists of 2 Dell R710s and an EqualLogic PS6000s. Our iSCSI setup was configured as outlined by this resource via Dell's Pro Support.

My question is, if I have a vSwitch with 4 VMkernel ports tied to my EqualLogic can I also use that vSwitch and VMkernels to connect to an OpenFiler SAN?

yes, you can.

yes you can add it in the iSCSI stack config screen. Need to keep in mind though that Openfiler isn't exactly supported,

Thanks for the responses guys.

I was mainly worried that with the multipath setup attaching another non-EqualLogic SAN to the same vSwitch would foul something up. I understand that OpenFiler isn't supported but I would expect it to be. Something tells me VMWare's partners wouldn't like that.

Thanks again.
