Deployment Guide
Fibre Channel Environment Setup With the ESX Server Software
The typical steps involved in setting up a Dell|EMC SAN are:
1
Install and setup the Dell|EMC Fibre Channel storage system.
2
Configure zoning at the Fibre Channel switch level.
3
Create RAID groups.
4
Create and bind LUNs to RAID groups.
NOTE:
When creating the LUNs, select
Auto Assign
to assign the LUN to
the SP. This is highly recommended for better load balancing.
5
Use Naviagent to register the servers (hosts) connected to the SAN.
6
Create storage groups and assign ESX Servers and LUNs to each of them.
