  • 1.  VSphere iSCSI preferred path

    Posted Jun 25, 2019 07:18 AM

    Hi,

    our ESX 6.0 node has 2 NIC ( 1x 10GbE  - 1x 1G )

    We map the iSCSI Luns using 10GbE and 1G and everything is working fine an I can view my lun with both of IP address.

    Set Multipath to "Fixed" to use 10GbE as preferred way.

    When I try to set my preferred path to 10GbE nothing changes, ESXi keep on to set 1GbE as preferred

    I try to set-up using ESX Ui and vCenter but nothing changes.

    Where I get wrong?

    Thanks a lot

    Could you share a screen shot of your network configuration where you have these both 10 and 1 GB cards.

    regards

    Actually I have to disable the 1G path in order to go in production.

    If I anable the 1G path, automatically vmware goes to Active in 1G.

    10G : vmhba32
