Configuring
the
storage
unit
This
section
provides
instructions
for
configuring
the
storage
unit.
Note:
IBM
does
not
support
VMware
ESX
running
on
“system
LUN/disk”
or
“extended
VMFS2”
file
system.
Configuring
the
storage
unit
for
an
Intel
host
running
VMware
ESX
Server
This
section
provides
instructions
for
configuring
the
storage
unit
for
an
Intel
host
running
VMware
ESX
Server.
VMware
ESX
multipathing
requires
that
the
storage
unit
present
the
disk
devices
in
the
same
LUN
sequence
for
each
of
the
host’s
fibre-channel
adapters.
Therefore,
when
“assigning
volumes
to
target
hosts”
using
IBM
TotalStorage
DS
Storage
Manager
to
the
host
adapters,
it
is
necessary
to
select
the
option
“use
same
ID/LUN
in
source
and
target”.
Note:
This
requirement
is
only
necessary
when
the
different
host
adapters
are
located
on
the
same
VMware
ESX
Server,
not
when
devices
are
shared
between
VMware
ESX
Servers.
Partitioning
storage
unit
disks
for
an
Intel
host
running
VMware
ESX
Server
This
section
provides
information
about
partitioning
storage
unit
disks
for
an
Intel
host
running
VMware
ESX
Server.
Before
you
create
a
VMFS
file
system,
partition
the
disk
by
using
the
fdisk
utility.
You
have
to
specify
the
special
device
file
of
the
disk
that
you
want
to
partition
when
you
run
fdisk.
The
type
of
the
partition
that
will
be
used
by
VMFS
has
to
be
fb
(must
be
set
with
t
command
of
fdisk).
To
identify
the
special
device
file
to
use,
you
must
run
the
command:
vmkfstools
–N
vmhba<C>:<T>:<D>:0
where
<C>
is
the
virtual
host
adapter
number,
<T>
is
the
SCSI
ID
of
the
storage
unit,
and
<D>
is
the
LUN
number
of
the
disk.
