Hi,
I have managed to set up a sweet home lab using ESXi in a diskless box, connecting to my FreeNAS box via iSCSI. So far so good, but now I want to push it a bit further and separate the iSCSI traffic from my normal LAN. I plan to put a second NIC into the FreeNAS box and set up the networking for management on one NIC, iSCSI on the other.
My problem lies in how to and which NIC to change (as in which will be easier). Currently everything is on 192.168.5.x (including a load of VM's - probably 10 machines in total). Ideally I'd like to change the iSCSI to 192.168.6.x, but am unsure how I'd have to go about setting up iSCSI target again.
Any thoughts? Is setting up a new IP for iSCSI relatively straight forward? This box has ALL of my stuff on it so I'm a bit nervous about killing it. Any suggestions much appreciated.
Regards
HP
