Iscsi is on the road map but the product is more for hyperconverged designs as a primary build. I'd personally consider the FC a stop gap for folks that want to leave vmware without having to reinvest in new hardware. If you have more a flexpod style config there are other products offering most of that functionality Verge.io My last place dumped the FC stuff years ago as well but there's most likely plenty of places still using it
@@sysadminsean you are much more of a glass half full guy than me. If they wanted to wow everyone that's currently on vmware, add iscsi thin provisioning, and watch everyone come running.
It's just kinda how I see the product in its current form, and I may be way off base lol. I think we'll see a lot of change in general for all these products looking to help companies that want to leave vmware.
Good question. It will be in the next video but basically when you click on virtual machines you have access to a console to access them before networking then whichever protocol you choose afterwards.
FC but not iSCSI? What year is this again? We replaced the last of our FC SANs 10 years ago.
