   Hello Mostafa,

   I recently Purchased Kindle Edition of your Storage.It is the best vsphere book available in the market.

   I have a Question on IP Storage.
   IP Storage Port Groups should be created on Default vswitch0 or should we create separate vswitch for IP Storage Port Groups.
   Are there any best practices for IP Storage Networking.

   Looking forwrad to your reply as well as Part 2 of the Storage book.

   Regards
   Harry

      Harry,
      The best practice is to have a dedicate storage network that is separate from the management VM networks.
      Note that since iSCSI network is not routable in vSphere 5, the initiators and targets must be on the same subnet.
      With that in mind, you don’t have to use the default vSwitch0 if you have enough uplinks to dedicate to the storage network.
      Also keep in mind that you cannot combine NIC teaming with Port Binding for iSCSI Software Initiators.
