VLAN for iSCSI HBA on Qlogic CNA and ESXi 5.1

Hi All,

I have been trying to see if I can get my iSCSI HBA to work properly.

I have a qlogic CNA 8242-k - in my M620 blade. One of the partitions can be either iscsi or NIC. If I use NIC then configure software iscsi adapter I can get everything working fine.

If I choose iscsi then I cant find how to set a VLAN for the partition marked as HBA. The switch is configured for a converged port with the vlans for vmware and storage all added to the allowed list.

For it to work as software iscsi I configure the port group with the right vlan and its all ok.

But storage adapters cant be added to a port group and I cant see any option to set it to the right vlan or to be able to specify that traffic from that vlan should go to the iscsi partition.

any ideas?

Thanks

Geoff
