'''N-port ID virtualization (NPIV)''' | |||
* Provides VM's with RDM's unconstrained to an ESX (ie allows VMotion when using RDM's) | |||
* Must be enabled on SAN switch | |||
* ESX's HBA's must support NPIV | |||
* NPIV enabled VM's are assigned 4 NPIV WWN's | |||
'''vNICs''' | |||
* '''Flexible''' - Becomes VMXNET when on 32bit OS with VMTools installed (VMware optimised), otherwise vLANCE (old AMD LANCE 10MB NIC driver) | |||
* '''e1000''' - Default for 64bit OS's, emulates an Intel E1000 card | |||
* '''VMXNET2''' - Aka enhanced VMXNET, supports jumbo frames and TSO, limited OS support | |||
* '''VMXNET3''' - Performance driver, only supported on VM hardware v7, and limited OS's | |||
