NVMe/TCP Initiator for VMware ESX
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prerequisites
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A VMware ESXi host running VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 7.0U3 version or later.
|
||
|
|
- Deployed Ceph NVMe-oF gateway.
|
||
|
|
- Ceph cluster with NVMe-oF configuration.
|
||
|
|
- Subsystem defined in the gateway.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following instructions will use the default vSphere web client and esxcli.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Enable NVMe/TCP on a NIC:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. prompt:: bash #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
esxcli nvme fabric enable --protocol TCP --device vmnicN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Replace ``N`` with the number of the NIC.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Tag a VMKernel NIC to permit NVMe/TCP traffic:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. prompt:: bash #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
esxcli network uip interface tag add --interface-nme vmkN --tagname NVMeTCP
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Replace ``N`` with the ID of the VMkernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Configure the VMware ESXi host for NVMe/TCP:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. List the NVMe-oF adapter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. prompt:: bash #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
esxcli nvme adapter list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Discover NVMe-oF subsystems:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. prompt:: bash #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
esxcli nvme fabric discover -a NVME_TCP_ADAPTER -i GATEWAY_IP -p 4420
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Connect to NVME-oF gateway subsystem:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. prompt:: bash #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
esxcli nvme connect -a NVME_TCP_ADAPTER -i GATEWAY_IP -p 4420 -s SUBSYSTEM_NQN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. List the NVMe/TCP controllers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. prompt:: bash #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
esxcli nvme controller list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. List the NVMe-oF namespaces in the subsystem:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. prompt:: bash #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
esxcli nvme namespace list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Verify that the initiator has been set up correctly:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. From the vSphere client go to the ESXi host.
|
||
|
|
#. On the Storage page go to the Devices tab.
|
||
|
|
#. Verify that the NVME/TCP disks are listed in the table.
