I'm using two ConnectX-5 Ethernet cards (MCSX515A-CCAT) direct connected with a QSFP28 DAC.
FWIW, after I submitted my question, I *think* I got ISER to work with the same target but using ESXi 6.7 as the initiator. But I'd still like to use iscsiadm for debugging. My best guess is that I need to install an optional Ubuntu package to get those "iser" devices under the "iscsi_transport" directory?
