This implementation guide is intended for system and storage administrators who perform and
manage system configuration and resource allocation for the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
This guide provides basic information required to establish communication between the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage and the VMware ESX host and to allocate the required storage for a given
configuration. See the appropriate HP documentation in conjunction with the ESX host and Host
Bus Adapter (HBA) vendor documentation for specific details and procedures.
NOTE: This implementation guide is not intended to reproduce or replace any third-party product
documentation. For details about devices such as hosts, HBAs, fabric switches, and non-HP 3PAR
software management tools, consult the appropriate third-party documentation.
