VMware ESX server deployments

VMware ESX servers may host multiple guest operating systems. A guest operating system may

have its own physical HBA port connection, or it may use a virtual port and share a physical HBA

port with other guest operating systems.

Figure 101 shows a VMware ESX server with two guest operating systems where each guest

accesses a fabric over separate host ports.

There are two paths to a target storage device:

• Host port 1 to target port 1, redirected through CTC T1.

• Host port 2 to target port 2, redirected through CTC T2.

Host port 1 is zoned with target port 1, and host port 2 is zoned with target port 2 to enable the

redirection zoning needed to redirect traffic to the correct CTC.
