vSphere Essentials, 2 hosts + 1 SAN (4NIC), directly connecting the SAN? (no SAN switches)

$

Hello,

 

I have a small question.

A "low budget" isolated system of a SAN and 2 ESX hosts.

The SAN is DELL MD3200i and has 4 ethernet/iscsi NICs.

The hosts have each 6 NICs.

 

I was assuming I could connect the hosts to the SAN directly (each host with 2 direct connection to the SAN).

But now I am starting doubting about SAN paths and vMotion.

Because, I thought that a SAN path contained the MAC-address of the destination NIC, and if I do vMotion to the other host, that host will be connected to another NIC of the SAN.

Will this work?

 

I know this is not a "best practices" situation but I have to know if I need to order additional switches or not.

Since the material has not arrived yet I cannot test this.

 

Can someone give me advise?

 

Thanks,

 

Joris
