3-Fibre Channel SAN Preparation
Host Presentation (Mapping) of Storage LUN
3-4
After creating a LUN, mount a volume in the LUN. (For more information, see the
HP storage array documentation).
NOTE:
The LUN must be an NTFS formatted LUN.
The LUN is then mapped (or presented/masked) to the host server. For the HP
MSA array, this is accomplished by mapping the LUN to the host bus adapter
port, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Mapping a LUN to the Host
In Figure 3-3, the HP MSA Storage Management Utility displays two LUNs, each
with one volume mounted. Additionally, all hosts (Fibre Channel adapter ports)
discovered by the storage are also displayed.
NOTE:
As a best practice for NPIV SAN migration, create a separate LUN for each
guest VM running under Hyper-V.
The LUN in this example is vd01_1000.
