Creating a New VM Using Pass-through Disks Only
This section shows you how to create a VM using pass-through disks only. You can boot from a pass-
through device, but you need a regular virtual disk on which to store the configuration data for the VM.
In the example, three virtual disks were created on the MD32X0, MD32X0i, or MD36X0i storage array.
Figure 9 shows a boot disk for the operating system of the VM, a data disk, and a 1-GB disk for the VM’s
configuration.
