    I'm thinking if connected to disk2.sdc, is it randomtly access to this LUN by 172.16.1.196 and 172.16.1.197 ?

    Could someone explain it ?

    Thanks !

    Does your iSCSI has any load balancing mechanism with a single IP that does the load balancing? i'm using HP P4000 (Lefthand) and it does. All i need to do is add one single IP and it will redirect randomly to the LUN.

    on top of that you will then need to setup round robin and etc in the iSCSI software initiator to do the load balancing. http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/03/18/iscsi-multipathing-with-esxcliexploring-the-next-version-of-esx/

    Hope you find it useful.

    ESXTOP(s 2 n) then you will see the vmnic, from there you need to virtually map back to the vmk* you have attached to

    # ESXTOP(s 2 n)

    -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `s'

    What's (s 2 n) ?
