Checking the Server Environment
2.1
Hardware
VMware ESX connection may require the use of Fibre Channel switches, depending on the version of
VMware ESX used.
Fibre Channel switches that can be connected to the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system vary depending on
the connection environment (OS or the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system). Refer to "Server Support Matrix
for FC-SWITCH" to check the available Fibre Channel switches in advance.
Access the following documents or use the "Server Support Matrix" to determine which models are compatible with which servers.
- Search the VMware Compatibility Guide
http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php
ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems support SAN Boot. For SAN Boot details, refer to "3.4 SAN Boot Notes
" (page 17).
VMware ESX may be SAN Booted if a SAN Boot capable Fibre Channel card is used. For more details of
VMware ESX SAN Booting, refer to the following web-site and documents:
- Reference URL:
http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/
- Reference documents:
"VMware vSphere Documentation: vSphere Storage Guide"
"VMware vSphere 4 Documentation: Fibre Channel SAN Configuration Guide"

Notes
Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to a server.
3.1
Connection Notes
To ensure reliable access to the ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems, the following methods are recommended:
- Connection via multiple paths
- Balancing of active paths
- VMware multipath plug-in

Setting up multiple access paths between the server and the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system creates a
multipath configuration. A multipath configuration provides improved access redundancy. For VMware
multipath plug-in details, refer to "3.9 VMware Multipath Plug-in " (page 18).
The recommended "Path Selection Policy" (per-LUN) setting is as follows:
For VMware vSphere
"RoundRobin" is recommended.

ETERNUS DX Disk Storage System to VMware VCB Proxy Server (on Windows) Connection Notes
When connecting a Windows-based VMware VCB (VMware Consolidated Backup) Proxy server to an ETERNUS DX60/DX60 S2, DX80, DX90 or ETERNUS DX400/DX8000 series, the VMware ESX shares the LUNs, and the
ETERNUS DX60/DX60 S2, DX80, DX90 or ETERNUS DX400/DX8000 series settings must be adjusted.
For details on how to perform these settings, refer to the following documents:
"ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems Server Connection Guide (Fibre Channel) ETERNUS DX Disk Storage System Settings for ETERNUS DX60/DX60 S2, DX80, DX90"

Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches
Perform the settings required to connect the ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems and server via the Fibre Channel switch, according to "ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems User's Guide -Server Connection- (Fibre Channel)
Fibre Channel Switch Settings".
If the access path is set with ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser, the Host Response settings are set to the default
values.
If the Host Response settings are changed from the default values, set the Host Response again.
The following examples show configurations in which a server is connected to a Fibre Channel switch with

Enabling ALUA
This procedure is only required when VMware vSphere contains VMware ESX 4.0/VMware ESXi 4.0.
It does not need to be performed when VMware vSphere contains VMware ESX 4.0 Update 1/VMware ESXi
4.0 Update 1 or later versions.
In this case, proceed to "8.1.4 Checking the LUNs " (page 27).
After the VMware ESX server has been installed, Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA) should be enabled
according to the following procedure.
Ignore the following error message if it appears when the preceding command is executed:
Errors:
Unable to perform unclaim. Error message was : Unable to unclaim paths. Busy
or in use devices detected.
See VMkernel logs for more information.

Connect to the VMware ESX server via the vSphere Client and check [Path Selection] for all the LUNs in
the ETERNUS Disk storage system.
When the VMware ESX server recognizes the LUNs, the active path for each LUN is automatically set.
Even though [Path Selection] is set to [Most Recently Used (VMware)], changing the [Path Selection]
for all the LUNs to [RoundRobin] is recommended.

Dynamic Recognition of LUNs Added While
VMware ESX is in Use
When adding LUNs while VMware ESX is in use (recognizing LUNs dynamically), first assign the added volumes to an ETERNUS DX Disk storage system Host Affinity Group, and then LUNs should be recognized with
the "Rescan" operation via the VMware Infrastructure Client (Infrastructure 3) or vSphere Client, respectively
described in "8.1 Checking the LUNs " (page 24) and "9.1 Checking the LUNs " (page 41).
