VMWare and IBM Storwize V7000
I am currently working with IBM Storwize V7000, IBM x3550M4 VMware Hosts, IBM G8124E Blade Network Technology (BNT) Switches, Emulex VFA III 10Gbs Network Cards.
The storage is using 10Gbs ethernet and iSCSI Software initiator, VMware and IBM V7000 don't support the Hardware initiator.
If you would like to see more details of the set up and the hurdles I have come across please go to the following page.
