Configure server objects on SC Series storage
14 Dell EMC SC Series Storage and Microsoft Multipath I/O | CML1004
4. For each HBA, perform Scan Fibre Devices. The HBA will scan the fabric looking for storage
devices. Although none will be found at this point, this advertises the presence of the HBA WWN to
the SC Series array so that the WWN is visible.
5. Log in to the desired SC Series array using the Dell Storage Manager client.
6. Under Hardware, expand the Servers folder to the desired location.
7. Right-click the desired folder and select Create Server.
8. The WWN for each of the server HBAs should be listed as available. Select the HBAs and configure
the other options as desired. Although HBAs can added by manually entering the WWN (if the server
or HBA is off line for example), this is not advised. Mapping HBAs that are visible is preferable
because it helps to confirm correct configuration of front-end cabling, zoning, and other
configurations.
9. Once created, verify that the server object lists the HBAs with a status of Up.
10. Exit from the HBA BIOS, reboot, and log in to Windows.
11. Create and map at least one SC Series volume to the server.
12. Configure the MPIO settings (see section 5).
