I am trying to build my lab server and I am stuck at the point of creating a virtual iSCSI network.
My setup is as follows:
Microserver Gen8 with SATA SSD and additional HBA in IT-mode.
ESXi 6.5 is installed and boots from SD.
I do have OmniOS napp-it guest system installed on SATA SSD. Additional IT-mode HBA has direct passthrough enabled and is assigned to that system. It has SSDs and HDDs connected. 2xSSD and 2xHDD form two mirrored ZFS pools. They are iSCSI enabled, targets are defined, views are created.
How should I build and configure a virtual network so I can have my ESXi hypervisor use its nested iSCSI storage?
Any guidance or general tips appreciated.
