Command device settings for virtual machines
The Replication Manager command device configuration function cannot be used to set a volume as
a command device if the volume has been allocated for a VMware virtual machine.
To set a command device for the virtual machine:
1. Use XP7 Remote Web Console to set the volume as a command device.
2. Use XP7 Remote Web Console to add the command device in (1) to a VMware host group and
set a path for the command device.
3. Perform VMware Raw Device Mapping, and then make sure that the command device in (1) is
recognized by the virtual machine.
