VMware vSphere 6.5 Professional (2017) — Question 33

Which two types of iSCSI adapters require VMkernel networking configuration? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. dependent hardware
• B. in-guest
• C. software
• D. independent hardware

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Dependent hardware and software iSCSI adapters require VMkernel networking configuration because they rely on the ESXi host's networking stack to communicate with storage. In-guest adapters do not need this configuration as they operate within the guest OS, and independent hardware adapters manage their own connections, bypassing the need for VMkernel setup.
