VSAN Membership for iSCSI

VSAN membership can be configured for an iSCSI interface, called the port VSAN. All the iSCSI devices that connect to this interface automatically become members of this VSAN, if it is not explicitly configured in a VSAN. The default port VSAN of an iSCSI interface is VSAN 1. Similar to Fibre Channel devices, iSCSI devices have two mechanisms by which VSAN membership can be defined.

• iSCSI host—VSAN membership to iSCSI host. (This method takes precedent over the iSCSI interface).
• iSCSI interface—VSAN membership to iSCSI interface. (All iSCSI hosts connecting to this iSCSI interface inherit the interface VSAN membership if the host is not configured in any VSAN by the iSCSI host method).
