Dell VmWare ESX Server 2.12 - Manual (Page 19)

Deployment Guide 17
In order to create and use Storage Groups in Navisphere, the Access Logic TM
option must be enabled.
NOTE:
Access Logic is a software component of Navisphere® which needs to
be installed at the storage system.
Zoning: Zoning controls access between fiber channel devices. Zoning at
the switch would determine the group servers that can access a particular
storage device.
The typical steps involved in setting up a SAN are:
1 Install and setup the CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage device.
2 Configure zoning at the switch level.
3 Create RAID groups.
4 Create and bind LUNs.
NOTE:
When creating the LUNs, select Auto Assign to assign the LUN
to the storage processor. This is highly recommended for better
load balancing.
5 Manually register the servers (hosts) connected to the SAN (see below
for step by step instructions).
6 Create Storage Groups containing the servers and the LUNs.
For detailed information about setting up the storage device, and creating
LUNs, RAID groups, and Storage Groups see the EMC Navisphere Manager:
Administrator’s Guide. This document comes with the CX-series storage
device on a CD-ROM.
Manual Registration of Servers: The steps to manually register a host server
using Navisphere Manager are given below:
1 Click on the Storage tab on the Navisphere Manager session.
Right-click on the storage system and select Connectivity Status.
All the World Wide Numbers (WWNs) of the HBAs installed in the
connected hosts should be displayed.
2 Select a WWN and select Register to register the HBA to the
Storage Device.
