Which two statements are true regarding iSCSI adapters?

  1. Software iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.

  2. Dependent hardware iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.

  3. Independent hardware iSCSI adapters offload processing from the ESXi host.

  4. Dependent hardware iSCSI adapters do not require vmkernel networking.

The correct answer is: Software iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.

Regarding iSCSI adapters, the statement that software iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking is true. This is because software iSCSI adapters utilize the host’s CPU and memory resources to process the iSCSI protocol, thus requiring network configuration on the ESXi host to manage iSCSI traffic effectively. The vmkernel networking stack is responsible for handling this traffic, meaning that a dedicated vmkernel port is needed to communicate with the iSCSI storage devices. The other options provide information about different types of iSCSI adapters but don't meet the requirement for being a true statement when considering the context provided for iSCSI functionality in VMware environments.
