Hello,
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this little annoyance.
SPOCK has a note with for MSA 1040 & 2040 iSCSI configurations with vSphere that "Direct Connect is not supported." Why is this? It looks to be supported for all the other OS options - why not vSphere?
Here are a couple of examples:
MSA 1040 10Gb iSCSI VMware vSphere 6.0 (ESXi 6.0) x64
iSCSI Initiator Notes
1) All standard ProLiant NICs are supported in conjunction with the OS iSCSI Initiator. Direct Connect is not supported.
MSA 1040 10Gb iSCSI Microsoft Windows Server 2012 x64 Hyper-V
iSCSI Initiator Notes
1) All standard ProLiant 10G NICs are supported in either Direct Connected or Switch Connected in conjunction with the OS iSCSI Initiator.
