This launches the Configure ESX Host to Storage Array wizard. See Figure 26. From this wizard, you can see
how the current ESX host is configured to the storage array (if it is already configured). You can also add a
host or host group, rename a host or host group, remove a host or host group and automatically configure the
ESX host to another storage array.
Figure 26. FC Configure ESX Host to Storage Array Wizard
To automatically configure the ESX host to the Dell MD Storage Arrays, select the storage array to be
configured, and click Suggest. This groups any unassigned HBA ports into pairs and define a new host and
host group for the groups of HBAs Figure 26. When the suggested configuration is correct, click OK to apply
the changes to the storage array or modify the configuration based on the fibre channel zoning rules from the
previous ESX Host SAN Configuration section. Suggested changes will be shown in blue, the Rename and
Remove options only apply to the uncommitted changes. You cannot rename or remote existing configured
hosts or host groups. Existing host and host group configuration changes must be performed from MDSM.
The wizard displays progress while the requested configuration changes are being made. You must manually
close the progress window once the changes are complete. See Figure 29.
NOTE: To use multiple host groups as described, the storage array must have the Storage Partitioning
premium feature enabled.
