In this video, I will demonstrate attaching a VMWARE ESXi 6.5 host to a storage center array with is Cuzzy using the software is Cuzzy initiator to attach an is Cuzzy host to a storage center. It is recommended to use a Dell customized Iso for vmware. Click on the summary tab, then review the image profile.
If you plan on using the Is Cuzzy software initiator. Check to see if the server has an Is Cuzzy offload, Nick in it. Click on the configure tab, then storage adapters locate ISCA the bas in this case, we have the embedded qlogic 10 gig adapters in the powered server. We will need to disable the ice cuzzy driver. If you don't have hardware ice cuzzy initiators, you can skip this part first enable SSH by clicking on security profile, scroll down to services, click edit, highlight SSH and click start then OK. Connect to your ESSI host using an SSH client such as petty lock in as root type ESX CFG dash module space dash DBNX two I enter maintenance mode and reboot after the reboot exit maintenance mode.
Verify the ice because the HP is no longer listed in storage adapters. Click on physical adapters and locate the N to ensure we correctly identify which Nick we have disabled the ports on the switch. I will enable the port connected to fault domain one and then re scan the adapter. We can see VM net zero came online at 10 gig. We then repeat from the net connected to fault. The main two click on VM kernel adapters, then the add icon, click next, select new standard switch and then next click the plus icon. Locate the VM Nick for fault there. One, highlight it and click.

Enter the is cuzzy target IP address for fault domain one and then OK, repeat for fault domain two. Launch a Dell storage manager client log in to the storage center that the ESX host will be connecting to on the storage tab. Right. Click the servers and choose create server from VMWARE vsphere RV center. Review the prerequisites and click next provide the credentials for the ESX host that will be connecting to the storage center and click next.
Both fault domains should be reachable if not troubleshoot. Before continuing. Click next to continue, you should receive the host setup, successful screen.
