between active servers, high availability (HA) clustering, and advanced load balancing, all require some
manner of shared storage accessed by each of the servers. The Dell™ PS Series SAN is a highly virtualized
shared storage platform that works with VMware vSphere 6 to provide these advanced features. This
document discusses how to configure your VMware ESXi™ 6 environment to communicate with the PS
Series SAN.
