Enabling/disabling software iSCSI initiator

By default, the software iSCSI initiator is disabled. To enable it, you must first add the proper adapter.

You can add the software iSCSI adapter using the vSphere Web Client. Select the host and the Configure tab, then, in the Storage | Storage Adapters menu, click on the + icon and choose Software iSCSI adapter:
