Related E-Lab Host Connectivity Guide
The topics in this chapter detail specific caveats and configuration parameters that must be present when configuring a
VMware vSphere ESXi host to access a PowerStore storage. These caveats and parameters should be applied with the
configuration steps that are detailed on the
E-Lab Host Connectivity Guide for VMware vSphere ESXi
(see the E-Lab
Interoperability Navigator at
).
Chapter Scope
This chapter provides guidelines only for configuring ESXi hosts that are connected externally to PowerStore. For configuring
an internal ESXi host on PowerStoreX, see the
