Attachment requirements for hosts running VMware operating systems

This section provides an overview of the requirements for attaching the SAN Volume Controller to a host running on a VMware operating system.

  • Ensure that there are enough fibre-channel adapters installed in the server to handle the total logical unit numbers (LUNs) that you want to attach.
  • Ensure that you have the documentation for the VMware operating system, the guest host operating system, and the IBM® System Storage SAN Volume Controller Model 2145-XXX Hardware Installation Guide. All SAN Volume Controller publications are available from the following Web site:

  • Ensure that you have installed the correct operating systems and version levels on your host. Be sure to review the device driver installation documents and configuration utility documents for any additional VMware or guest operating system patches that you might need.
