Overview

• Configuration in which a virtual HBA is assigned to each virtual machine (when NPIV HBA is
used)
Register, as a normal host, each virtual machine to which you want to assign volumes. In
addition, register the virtualization server that runs in the same physical environment in Device
Manager.
For each volume, you must assign a path to the virtualization server (physical WWN) and a
path to the virtual machine (virtual WWN). After assigning the paths, make the virtual machine
recognize the volumes as a RAW device.
For details on the system requirements for virtualization servers, see section
1-5-2-2 .
CAUTION: If you move a virtual machine from one virtualization server to another, you need to
update (refresh) the information of the source and destination virtualization servers in Device
Manager. After moving a virtual machine, if there are no volumes assigned to the source
virtualization server, manually delete the information about the source virtualization server from
Device Manager.
1-5-2-2 Virtual server requirements
To use Device Manager to manage virtualization servers, the following requirements must be
satisfied.
Table 1-20 System requirements for using Device Manager to manage virtualization servers
Virtualization software Prerequisite software Connection type between
virtualization servers and
storage subsystems

NOTE: Before using Device Manager to manage volumes used by virtualization servers, perform the following
operations:
• Set up the storage subsystem environment
For details on the requirements for using storage subsystem volumes in a virtualization server, see the
manual for each storage subsystem.
• Set up LUN security for ports
Enable LUN security for the storage subsystem ports. For details on how to do this, see the XP LUN
Manager manual.
• Install vMA and specify the information of the CIMOM interface
For details on how to install vMA, see the vSphere Management Assistant Guide. For details on how to
specify the information of the CIMOM interface, see the CIM Storage Management API Programming
Guide.
• Configure a firewall between the management server and the virtualization server
For details on the port numbers that need to be added to the firewall exceptions list, see section
2-1-3 .

You can also use vMA to manage virtualization servers.
2
IPv6 can also be used for communication between the Device Manager server and vMA. Note that, even if
you use IPv6 for communication between the Device Manager server and vMA, you need to set up an
environment so that the following communication uses IPv4:
• Communication between vMA and VMware ESX
• Communication between vMA and VMware vCenter Server
• Communication between vCenter Server and VMware ESX
