2V0-622 Question #56: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: Software iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.. Software iSCSI relies on vmkernel networking for its TCP/IP stack, while Independent Hardware iSCSI adapters have a self-contained stack that offloads all iSCSI and network processing from the ESXi host.
Question
Which two statements are true regarding iSCSI adapters? (Choose two.)
Options
- ASoftware iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.
- BIndependent Hardware iSCSI adapters offload processing from the ESXi host.
- CDependent Hardware iSCSI adapters do not require vmkernel networking.
- DIndependent Hardware iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.
Explanation
Software iSCSI relies on vmkernel networking for its TCP/IP stack, while Independent Hardware iSCSI adapters have a self-contained stack that offloads all iSCSI and network processing from the ESXi host.
Common mistakes.
- C. Dependent Hardware iSCSI adapters rely on the host's NIC hardware but still use the ESXi TCP/IP stack and therefore do require vmkernel networking to be configured.
- D. Independent Hardware iSCSI adapters manage their own TCP/IP stack entirely on the card and do not require vmkernel networking, making this statement false.
