3.
Register this virtual adapter port as a QLogic initiator, which is installed in a
host physically connected to the storage array via the Fibre Channel switch.
4.
Determine the size and number of LUNs needed based on the disk size a
Virtual Machine hosted on this LUN would need. Factor in additional LUNs
based on the needs of the application running inside the Virtual Machine.
5.
Complete the presentation of the LUNs to the virtual adapter port via the
management interface used by the storage array.
6.
Verify that the LUNs can been seen on the host server on which the virtual
adapter port was created using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager (or SANsurfer
FC HBA CLI) as discussed earlier in this guide.
Figure 6-2
shows the
Device Manager
window (with disk drives) from the host server. (Access
this window by selecting
Server Manager
,
Diagnostics
, then
Device
Manager
. Click the plus sign next to
Disk Drives
). As show in the figure, the
LUNs presented by the EMC storage array can be seen by the host server.

Format the LUN on which the Virtual Machine will be hosted/installed by
creating an NTFS-formatted partition/volume.
