Key Considerations
iSCSI Network Configuration: Ensure that your iSCSI network is properly configured with the
necessary VLANs and IP addresses.
Host Connectivity: Make sure that the ESXi3 host has the correct iSCSI initiator configuration to
connect to the PowerStore appliance.
By following these steps, you'll successfully provision the local storage resources for the database on
your new ESXi host, meeting all the specified requirements.
