This is a bit of a follow up thread on an earlier post. But I see that my 5 BL490c G6 hosts have listed both a software adapter and Broadcom iSCSI Adapter. Though I have nothing listed under the Broadcom adapters.
Is there a performance difference between these two? In my head, hardware should be better than software, but it seems to default to software.
I found this KB, indicating there may be some fiddling involved to get ESX to use the Broadcom adapters, but is it worth it?
The iSCSI SAN is a StorageWorks P4300 G2.
