Hello. I am trying to connect a windows server 2012 vmware machine directly to my eql 6100 san. Currently I have the EQL attached to 2 Dell R620's which is hosting my virtual machines. I have 2 force10 switches that serves as my iSCSI network and I have 4 ports on each R620 connected to the force 10 iSCSI switches. Inside of vmware I have 4 ISCSI vmkernel ports setup in round robin. I don't have the enterprise version of ESXI so I cannot use the MEM plugin. My question is this:

If I want to create a volume inside of server 2012 using the windows iSCSI initiator that will be used for file shares, what is the best practice on doing this?

I have additional ports available on the R620's that I can use to connect directly to the force 10 iSCSI network. In vmware do I need to create vswitches that will be only used for the windows network shares connected to the EQL? I plan on creating a volume on the EQL side that will only be used for the windows file shares. 

Hopefully the above makes sense:). Thanks
