it's a fibre-enabled unit ? Can you run "/nas/sbin/model". Fibre-enabled unit will have FC on the end. If it is, then you will need to create luns, storage groups ..etc from Navisphere Manager.

yes, if you are using the FC ports on the NS-120 then you are indeed using the native Clariion FC and need to use the Clariion NaviSphere Manager GUI

Take a look at the TechBooks on Powerlink - they contain good setup and config information for VMWware connectivity options
