VMware ESX Host-Based iSCSI Initiator on VMware ESX vSwitch
This section provides an overview of a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Microsoft SQL Server 2012 single-host
deployment in a VMware ESX environment using a VMware ESX host-based iSCSI software initiator to access
shared NetApp iSCSI storage. In this scenario, the VMware ESX native vSwitch is configured to access VMware
ESX management, Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 guest virtual machine management, Microsoft SQL Server 2012
client, VMware vMotion, and iSCSI-based storage access points.
