In this challenge, you will configure iSCSI storage on a VMware ESXi host. First, you will configure a new virtual switch that contains a VMkernel port for iSCSI storage traffic, and then you will add a software iSCSI adapter to a host. Next, you will bind a VMkernel port to the software iSCSI adapter. Finally, you will configure multipathing to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy for the storage traffic. Note: Once you begin the challenge lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your challenge lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge lab before you start.
