A warning sign indicates non-compliant port group policy for an iSCSI-bound VMkernel adapter.

Problem

The VMkernel adapter's port group policy is considered non-compliant in the following cases:

  • The VMkernel adapter is not connected to an active physical network adapter.
  • The VMkernel adapter is connected to more than one physical network adapter.
  • The VMkernel adapter is connected to one or more standby physical adapters.
  • The active physical adapter is changed.

Solution

Set up the correct network policy for the iSCSI-bound VMkernel adapter. See Setting Up Network for iSCSI and iSER.
