PowerVault™ MD32X0, MD32X0i, and MD36X0i Series of Storage Arrays: Implementing Hyper-V
Directly-Mapped iSCSI Virtual Disks to the VM (MD32X0i and MD36X0i)
You can easily transfer the virtual disk from a physical server to the VM. However, note that
transferring the virtual disk reduces the number of hosts connected to the MD32X0i or MD36X0i storage
array. Each VM uses exactly one host partition. VSS-based backup from the parent does not include the
directly mapped iSCSI LUNs of the child partition. Booting also is not possible unless you use third-party
software. The MD3200i storage array only requires a software initiator. The iSCSI HBA is not supported
with the MD3200i storage array. Only software initiators are supported with the MD32X0i and MD36X0i
storage array.
Note: You can use direct mapping for data devices that were originally used on a physical
server or for data devices that you want to move back to a physical server.
Setting Up VMs with VHDs
First, confirm that the PowerVault MD32X0, MD32X0i, or MD36X0i storage array is correctly installed
and configured. For information about installing and configuring the storage array, refer to the
documents on this website:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/MD3200/en/UG/HTML/iscsi.htm
1. Create virtual disks on the MD32X0, MD32X0i, or MD36X0i storage array for use as VHDs.
In the example, one virtual disk was created for the operating system (OS) drivers and two
data virtual disks were created for user data on the VMs.
