Set Up Multiple
VMware ESXi Hosts in a VMware vSphere Cluster
Configure multiple VMware ESXi hosts that
are part of the vSphere cluster from initial setup to access block-level
storage on the Storage Center.
Prerequisites
The Storage Manager Client must be running on a system with a 64-bit operating
system.
You must be logged into the Storage Manager Client using a Storage Manager user with the Administrator privilege.
On a Storage Center with Fibre Channel I/O ports,
configure Fibre Channel zoning before starting this procedure.
Steps
On the Configuration Complete page of the Discover and Configure wizard,
click Configure VMware vSphere to access a Storage Center.
The Set up VMware Host on wizard opens.
Type the vCenter IP address or host name,
user name, and password. Then click Next.
If the Storage Center has iSCSI ports and the host is not connected to any interface,
the Log into via iSCSI page opens. Select
the hosts and target fault domains, and then click Log
In.
In all other cases, the Verify vSpheres
Information page appears. Proceed to the next step.
Select an available port, and then click Create Servers.
The server definition is created on the Storage Center for each of the connected
or partially connected hosts.
The Host Setup Successful page displays the best practices that were set by the wizard and
best practices that were not set. Make a note of any best practices
that were not set. It is recommended that these updates be applied
manually before starting I/O to the Storage Center.
(Optional) Select Create a Volume
for this host to create a volume after finishing host
setup.
Click Finish.
