10. Repeat steps 1 – 9 for each additional datastore.
11. For additional VMware vSphere hosts to which the storage volumes are mapped, rescan the SAS
HBA to refresh and populate the datastores list.
3.8.1.3 Configure Multi-path settings
The VMware native Multi-path uses a default Path Selection Policy (PSP). For best results, modify the default
PSP to Round Robin, as described in Dell EMC SC Series Best Practices with VMware vSphere 5.x-6.x.
3.8.2 Standalone vSphere host
A standalone vSphere host environment refers to the absence of vCenter management. In this type of
environment, the vSphere Embedded Host Client is used for management of the host. The following steps
were used to connect to storage mapped from an SC Series array and create a new datastore from that
storage on a standalone vSphere host. Configuration of the native VMware MPIO is also covered.
