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.
