a higher level of scalable their computing resources the following problems for storage paper describes the VMware deployment options for a scalable virtualized data center. HP StorageWorks MPX200 Architecture The HP support up to 2032 initiators. The hosts can leverage free iSCSI software - HP 6100 | HP StorageWorks MPX200 - Simplified Cost-Effective Virtualization De - Page 3
1024 maximum supported LUNs enables functional deployment of a large number of iSCSI manages all the hardware details and provides services to VMs. In addition, within the and data using its own file system. However, the low-level LUN management remains with the ESX hypervisor only. Figure 1 - HP 6100 | HP StorageWorks MPX200 - Simplified Cost-Effective Virtualization De - Page 4
configured into one of the file system of the guest operating system can be installed on the VMFS carved-out volume, and the VM2, VM3). This allows the guest OS to format the file system directly on the raw device file. RDM. While the VMs benefit from VMFS services, as per the application demand, the - HP 6100 | HP StorageWorks MPX200 - Simplified Cost-Effective Virtualization De - Page 5
software, reside at the hypervisor level. This is because most mid- to high-end storage arrays allowed 128 to 512 host connections. Each initiator on the server side consumed one For example, one hypervisor can support up to 35 hosts. Typical cases have 8 to 12 virtual machines on one hypervisor.

system is created. The number of Vdisks in the pool can be one Vdisk or many Vdisks. Because MPX200 supports many Vdisks, it provides more options to pool Vdisks and present them to the ESX servers. 1. You can choose a large single Vdisk and configure VMFS and share it across many ESX servers. This - HP 6100 | HP StorageWorks MPX200 - Simplified Cost-Effective Virtualization De - Page 7
installed in vmdk A, VM2 in vmdk B, and VM3 in vmdk C. Microsoft Windows guest OS is installed in every VM. Microsoft's software iSCSI initiator is configured in every VM. The software number of disks are supported in the MPX200 one iSCSI LUN, each in a single MPX200 configuration [512 for installing - HP 6100 | HP StorageWorks MPX200 - Simplified Cost-Effective Virtualization De - Page 8
, only one Vdisk is used to create the RDM volume. Thus, RDM A is created on Vdisk D1, RDM B is created on Vdisk D2, and RDM C is created on Vdisk D3. VM1 is installed in RDM A, VM2 in RDM B, and VM3 in RDM C. Microsoft Windows guest OS is installed in every VM. Microsoft's software iSCSI initiator - HP 6100 | HP StorageWorks MPX200 - Simplified Cost-Effective Virtualization De - Page 9
, all the implementation options are applicable to VDI as well. The customer can choose to install either Windows servers or Desktop Windows in all the implementation options discussed in this paper. Conclusion The MPX200 10-1 GbE blade allows high performance virtual machine deployment with 10GbE
