I'm at the point of configuring my Nics for the iSCSI traffic. I've read some conflicting things and am not sure if it even matters that much.

Example - Should it be configured:

VMware -
Nic1 - 10.10.0.1/24
Nic2 - 10.10.0.2/24


Starwind -
Nic1 - 10.10.0.3/24
Nic2 - 10.10.0.4/24

OR

VMware -
Nic1 - 10.10.0.1/24
Nic2 - 10.10.1.1/24

Starwind -
Nic1 - 10.10.0.2/24
Nic2 - 10.10.1.2/24

As for me both options looks good. You can always refer to our best practices and to the VMware best practices.
