You must configure the VMware operating system and the
guest operating system before you can use hosts running on a VMware
platform with the SAN Volume Controller.
Before you configure the host operating systems, the following
tasks must be completed:
- The IBM® service
representative must
have installed the SAN Volume Controller.
- You must have installed the appropriate host bus adapters.
After the prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following
general steps to configure your host system.
- Define the host system with the worldwide port name identifiers.
You will have to locate the list of worldwide port names.
- Define the fibre-channel port configuration if it was not
done during the installation of the SAN Volume Controller or
fibre-channel adapters.
- Configure the host system for the SAN Volume Controller by using the instructions in your VMware and guest operating
system publications.
