When using a hardware iSCSI initiator with an ESXi host, which two tasks are performed by VMKernel? (Choose two)
A. Encapsulation of iSCSI PDUs TCP/IP packets
B. Mapping requests for blocks on the virtual disk to blocks on the appropriate physical device
C. Issuing iSCSI commands to the virtual disk
D. Encapsulation of I/O requests into iSCSI Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
Correct Answer: BC
Explanation/Reference:
Encapsulation of iSCSI PDUs TCP/IP packets And Encapsulation of I/O requests into iSCSI Protocol Data Units (PDUs) are performed only by the adaptor. If VMkernel does not perform these two tasks then these are the correct answers: Mapping requests for blocks on the virtual disk to blocks on the appropriate physical device and Issuing SCSI commands to the virtual disk Page 68 from vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-storage-guide.pdf
