This section contains the topics that describe how you use fdisk to partition a server disk and how you create a file system on an Intel host running VMware ESX Server.
The following 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. VMware ESX multipathing requires that the storage unit present the disk drive modules in the same LUN sequence for each of the host's fibre-channel adapters. When you assign volumes to target hosts using the DS Storage Manager, select the option “use same ID/LUN in source and target”.
