Description
I have 5 ESXi Hosts I need to connect to a freenas box I'm using for lab vm storage. I'd rather go iscsi than nfs. I need to know if it's possible to connect two luns to all five hosts without issues or will I need to use nfs? If nfs is required is it possible to multipath it or load balance it using the two nics my freenas system has?
Thanks

According to the forums the inability to connect multiple initiators to a single target is a bug that has not been addressed which is why I brought it up here.

I have posts in that forum thread as well. The thread didn't have a solution, so I figured I'd point out that the problem exists in case no one else had.

I can't do much testing without a working solution since my esxi hosts are in production and can't be power cycled without causing trouble.
