Installing Intel
®
RAID Web Console 2 Support on the VMWare ESX
This section outlines the product requirements needed to support the VMWare ESX operating
system. Classic VMWare includes a Service Console that is derived from the Linux 2.4 kernel,
but with reduced functionality.
The Intel
®
RAID Web Console 2 server part cannot be installed directly in VMWare ESX 3i.
Management is performed through Intel
®
RAID Web Console 2 installed on a remote machine
(Linux/Windows).
The Linux installer of Intel
®
RAID Web Console 2 works under console with minimal
changes. Hardware RAID is currently supported in ESX 3.x.
Note:
There is a known limitation that virtual drives that are created or deleted will not be reflected to the
kernel. The workaround is to reboot the server or to run
esxcfg-rescan <vmhba#>
from COS shell.
The network communication is a key element for a proper setup. Therefore, we recommend
that you install the management on a VM within the ESXi. Follow these steps to install and
configure Intel
®
RAID Web Console 2 support on the VMWare ESX operating system:
1.
Network Configuration of the ESXi Host: -
—
Assignment of a ESXi hostname:
Even if it is not relevant for your network, you need a FQDN (Fully Qualified
Domain Name). Example: local.lsi.com to be entered using the local ESXi
console.
—
Configuration of a virtual network environment:
i.
You can use the already existing Vswitch, which has a VMkernel port already
attached for the communication.
ii.
Alternatively, you can build a new Vswitch without a link to the Host network card.
Which one of the two possibilities to choose depends on your application. It is
recommended to choose between both possibilities at a early stage, because the creation
of a new Vswitch with VMkernel requires a reboot. For those who want to reach the
target as quickly as possible, no change is recommended.
—
Configuration of the IP address:
Configure the IP address. The address must be accessible by the VM that will be
installed next.
2.
VM Installation: -
Install the operating system as usual, including the VMWare guest tools. The virtual
network card should be linked to a Vswitch that has a VMKernel port attached. For a
quick installation, no change is recommended.
