Step3: Assign Network Adapters - Dell PowerVault MD3220i Deployment Manual

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
vSwitch2
PortGroup Name VLAN ID Used Ports
iSCSI3
iSCSI2
iSCSI1
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:
