6 – Presentation of LUNs to a Virtual HBA Port

6-2 FC0054604-00 A

3. Register this virtual HBA port as a QLogic initiator, which is installed in a

host physically connected to the storage array via the Fibre Channel switch.

4. Determine the size and number of LUNs needed based on the disk size a

Virtual Machine hosted on this LUN would need. Factor in additional LUNs

based on the needs of the application running inside the Virtual Machine.

5. Complete the presentation of the LUNs to the virtual HBA port via the

management interface used by the storage array.

6. Verify that the LUNs can been seen on the host server on which the virtual

HBA port was created using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager as discussed

earlier in this guide. Figure 6-2 illustrates the Device Manager dialog box

from the host server. As show in the figure, the LUNs presented by the EMC

storage array can be seen by the host server.

7. Format the LUN on which the Virtual Machine will be hosted/installed by

creating an NTFS-formatted partition/volume.
