Then you can create individual VMs (it is alot easier than it sounds and the Synology DS920+ VM software is very user-friendly) then allocate All I want to do is host a website internally on the LAN. The Nextcloud VM uses port 80/443 which in my NAS translates to 8083/8082 respectively. Once done, search for “L2TP/IPSec” and add it to your QNAP NAS. Cannot find device in myQNAPcloud myQNAPcloud Link service. We are almost finished, let’s add the VMkernels to the Network Port Binding, select the iSCSI VMkernel you want to use for the iSCSI software adapter sessions.Īdd your storage target’s IP, dynamic if your storage uses a virtual IP and it will then reassign the session to its correspondent interfaces or static if you want them to access to the LUNs by a specific route.Īt this point, you must have already allowed LUN access to your iSCSI software adapter name from your storage solution, if so go ahead and perform a rescan, you will be able to see the LUNs under the devices tab.Īnd they there are, it can be now used as DataStores or be mapped as Raw Device Mapping, you will make the decision.Qnap virtual host The second virtual server is configured for https port 443 and does not work.
Move from Networking to Storage Tab, click on the Add new storage adapter icon in order to add a new iSCSI storage adapter, there are some card that you can use as iSCSI adapters but for this tutorial will be using the iSCSI software solution. Time to move to the storage adapter configuration, uff sounds like We have done a lot of work at this point but trust me you’ll end up by doing this in minutes with some practice. Lastly, we are going to assign one vmnic to each vmkernel, there are currently working each vmkernel with both vmnic, select each Network label and click on edit settings, override the failover order, for iSCSI-01 vmnic2 will be active and vmnic3 will set as unused, as for iSCSI-02 vmnic2 will be set as unused and vmnic3 as active. Now we are going to repeat this procedure per VMkernel, Edit Settings -> NIC Settings, change the MTU (Bytes): from 1500 to 9000. A new window will pop up, change the MTU (Bytes): from 1500 to 9000. Select your iSCSI switch and click on Edit Settings. Now we have our both iSCSI Kernel and vSwitch almostconfigured Give it an IP Address of the same subnet of your iSCSI storage. Select your iSCSI vSwitch in our case: vSwitch1, Leave VMkernel Network Adapter option selected and click on next, Our vSwitch has been successfully created, let’s the second VMkernel and configure our vSwitch and VMkernel with the best practices, MTU, failover order and stuff, click on Add host networking once again. Here is the summary of what is going to happen. Set an IP for this newly created VMkernel. We are going to create a new standard switch for our iSCSI traffic.Ĭlick on the Add adapters icon and add the adapters that will be used ( vmnic2 & vmni3).Ĭhange the Network label of the first VMkernel that will be configured, example: iSCSI-01. Will be configuring two iSCSI VMkernels one for each vmnic. The Add Networking window will pop up, leave the option VMkernel Network Adapter selected and click Next. Select Virtual switches and click on the add host networking icon. Make sure you have physical adapters available that will be dedicated for your iSCSI traffic, for this example, we have vmnic2 and vmnic3. Select the ESXi host you wish to configure the iSCSI LUN and go to Manage -> Networking -> Physical adapters. It is important that your iSCSI traffic is isolated from other type of traffic, for example mgmt,

Configuring our ESXi host to accept iSCSI sessions and present volumes is part of some of our daily duties, for this guide I will show you how to configure an ISCSI LUN on your VMware vSphere ESXi environment,
