This Jira task is for connecting ESX hosts in VC1 environment to the IBM Storage via ISCSI

Note that on the IBM Storage side I have created 10T Volume and shared with VC1 hosts.
I have also verfiied that ping connectivity between esx and ibm interfaces works as expected.
 
You will need to focus on the ESX configuration and datastore setup.
For details on how to configure the IPs and connect the storage see:

Changes needed on the ESX side:

On the ESX side please re-purpose vmk2 from powerflex needs to the info showed below.
Please create a new vmk3 for the additional IP as shown below see the google doc for exact instructions.

Note that he IQN should not change as one initiator supports multiple targets in our case Netapp and IBM.  I have already  created the volume and associated with these hosts as group called aka hostcluster called VC7-1_rhev-node-13
 
This cluster contains the IQNs of the ESX hosts already with a 10T volume mapped.

Once you login via the google document instructions these hosts will show an online status connection.
 
You will then be able to:
1) Create a datastore
2) Copy over relevant templates
3) Run regression case(s)
