Install the HP SVSP VSS hardware provider within the Windows OS running on the virtual machine.
For more information on the SVSP VSS hardware provider, see Installing the SVSP VSS hardware
provider on the host server on page 98.
Creating a synchronized snapshot of the virtual machine
Verify the VMware VSS hardware provider is installed as part of the VMware tools. If you upgrade
from update 1 to update 2, a manual installation is needed.
In this scenario, a virtual machine can be created on a DATASTORE/vmfs file system device.
Follow VMware instructions on how to use the VMware VSS hardware provider with VMware
Consolidated Backup (VCB).
N-port ID virtualization (NPIV)
This is not currently supported as of the time of publication. See the HP Single Point of Connectivity
Knowledge (SPOCK) website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock. Site registration is required.
Microsoft cluster
Supported only by VMware with the ESX V3.5 update 1 or higher, but not supported with VMware
DRS and HA.
Follow VMware instructions on how to install a Microsoft cluster on VMware virtual machines. See
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_mscs.pdf.
The quorum disk must be created from a raw device based on a dedicated SVSP virtual disk as-
signed to all ESX servers that will serve Microsoft cluster virtual machines (nodes).
SVSP thin provisioned virtual disks cannot serve as the quorum disk.
Installing and booting an VMware ESX server from the SAN
The following procedure, which must be done in order, allows you to configure a VMware ESX server
to boot from a LUN on the SAN.
1. From the HP Command View SVSP GUI:
a. Verify that you can see the LUN presented by the storage array as back-end LUs.
b. Follow the HP StorageWorks Command View SVSP User Guide procedures to create a
storage pool.
c. Follow the HP StorageWorks Command View SVSP User Guide procedures to create a
virtual disk from the storage pool.
d. Follow the HP StorageWorks Command View SVSP User Guide procedures to configure a
UDH for the VMware server (choose VMware for the OS type, and the HP EVA personality
for the SCSI personality type).
e. Assign the VSM virtual disk only to the ESX server that will use the virtual disk as its boot
device.
2. Follow VMware instructions on how to configure the HBAs. See Chapter 5 in the VMware Fibre
Channel SAN Configuration Guide for ESX Server 3.5 that can be obtained at http://
www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_san_cfg.pdf, or for ESX 4.0 that
can be obtained at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_san_cfg.pdf. Make
sure to apply these instructions to all HBAs and HBA ports for HA.
3. Insert the ESX install CD into the server and reboot the server.
