Configuring the EVA with VMware host servers
To configure an EVA with a VMware ESX server:
1.
Using HP P6000 Command View, configure a host for one ESX server.
2.
Verify that the Fibre Channel Adapters (FCAs) are populated in the world wide port name
(WWPN) list. Edit the WWPN, if necessary.
3.
Set the connection type to
VMware
.
4.
Add a port to the host defined in
1
. Do
not
add host entries for servers with more than one
FCA.
5.
Check the VMware vCenter management GUI to find out the WWPN of your server (see
diagram below).
