VMware ESX Server 3.0x
1.
Open Virtual Infrastructure client and select the configuration tab, then select Advanced Settings.
2.
In the left pane of the "Advanced Settings" window, select Disk, then scroll down to
"Disk.MaxLUN".
3.
Verify that the value is large enough to support your configuration (default=8). If the value is less
than the number of LUNs you have presented then you will not see all of your LUNs. The maximum
value is 256.

Connecting the disk array

The HP service representative connects the disk array to the host by:
1.
Verifying operational status of the disk array channel adapters, LDEVs, and paths.
2.
Connecting the Fibre Channel cables between the disk array and the fabric switch or host.
3.
Verifying the ready status of the disk array and peripherals.

Defining the paths

Use XP Remote Web Console (shown) or XP Command View Advanced Edition Software to define
paths (LUNs) between hosts and volumes in the disk array.
This process is also called "LUN mapping." In XP Remote Web Console and XP Command View,
LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
Enabling LUN security on the ports
Creating host groups
Assigning Fibre Channel adapter WWNs to host groups
Mapping volumes (LDEVs) to host groups (by assigning LUNs)
In XP Command View Advanced Edition Software, LUN mapping includes:
Configuring ports
