In the following screenshot, you can see the port groups that need to be configured:
There is one more task we need to do related to our iSCSI port groups. As you already know, if you need to work with storage multipathing, you must ensure that the VMkernel ports that are used to bind to the iSCSI initiator are not balanced over multiple vmnics. To do this, open the configuration of the first iSCSI port group and override the failover order. For the iSCSI1 port group, we will only use vmnic4. For the iSCSI2 port group, only vmnic5 will be used. This is shown in the following screenshot:
