iSCSI Connections (VMware Systems)

ftServer systems running ftSSS for VMware vSphere that boot from internal SAS disks

support the use of iSCSI external storage enclosures. These systems only support

software iSCSI in conjunction with standard network adapters. Hardware iSCSI HBAs

are not supported.

Stratus does not sell iSCSI storage systems. Contact your account representative for

information about iSCSI storage systems qualified for use with ftServer systems. See

the VMware documentation for information about how to configure and manage an

iSCSI storage system.

N O T E S

1. See the

Stratus ftServer Systems: PCI Adapter

Guide

(R461) for information about supported

Ethernet adapters and their Ethernet cable

requirements.

2. Ensure that your ftServer system provides adequate

bandwidth for your iSCSI storage requirements.

ftScalable Storage

RAID controller tray

‡

3: two for

each

controller tray

and one to a

management

N/A. You must

supply these cables.

24 AWG Unshielded Twisted Pair

(UTP) EIA/TIA-Verified, Category-3

or Category-5 wire, with RJ-45

modular connectors terminated with

pair-wiring adhering to the EIA/TIA

568-A or EIA/TIA 568-B standard.

For connections to an Ethernet hub

or switch, provide a straight-through

cable.

For 100-Mbps (fast Ethernet)

operation, provide full-duplex, or

Category-5 Ethernet cables.

† Contact your Stratus account team for information on availability of this product.

‡ ftScalable Storage systems are optional. If you connect an ftServer system running VMware ESX

software to an iSCSI or EMC storage system, consider its Ethernet network requirements in your site

planning.
