23 Dell EMC SC Series Storage with SAS Front-end Support for VMware vSphere | 3027-CD-VM
Note: The Create Server from VMware vSphere or vCenter option is currently not operational for SAS FE
connected servers. This functionality with SAS FE configurations is expected in the next release of DSM.
18. In the wizard, configure the following:
19. Provide a name for the host. In this example, the server is named S1350-ESXi.
20. Select the correct operating system from the drop down list. VMware ESXi 6.5 is used in this
example.
21. Use the information from step 4 to determine the correct initiator SAS port (HBA). In this example, the
WWN ending in 4C00 is correct for host S1350.
22. Click OK.
23. Click the new server object. Under the Connectivity tab, verify the top and bottom controller ports
are correct. Assigning intuitive names to these ports ahead of time facilitates easy verification.
