Several years ago I blogged detailed instructions to configure multipath iSCSI in IBM Cloud’s classic infrastructure using Endurance block storage.

Since then I’ve learned that VMware documents you should not use port binding in this topology. I was skeptical of this since I wasn’t confident that an HBA scan would make attempts on all vmkernel ports. However, I’ve retested my instructions without using port binding and I can confirm that I’m able to achieve MPIO connectivity to the storage without it.

I’ve updated the my instructions to remove the port binding step.
