3 Fibre Channel SAN
Preparation
Introduction
This section assumes that you are familiar with QLogic‘s SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager tool and have already created a virtual host bus adapter port on the
Fibre Channel host bus adapter installed in hostservera.
NOTE:
The host name hostservera is alternatively displayed as HostserverA
in other applications within this document.
Details of this procedure are available in the Fibre Channel HBA & VM Migration
Guide for Hyper V & SC VMM2008. See the documentation table at the following

Virtual Host Bus Adapter Port Creation and SAN
Zoning
This section describes, at a high level, how to prepare the Fibre Channel SAN for
VMM2008 R2 NPIV SAN migration.
After connecting the servers (adapter ports) and the storage array to the QLogic
Fibre Channel switch, configure the switch so that the physical Fibre Channel
adapters on both host servers have access to the same storage array. The SAN
is configured by creating a single zone using the management software
embedded in the switch. This software can be accessed through any browser
application.
