Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Storage System Deployment Guide

Identify FC HBAs on a XenServer

Perform the following steps to identify the FC HBAs on a XenServer.

1. Log in to the console for each XenServer host using SSH or XenCenter.
2. Use the following command to display and record the WWNs for the HBA ports that are connected to the storage system:

   systool -c fc_host -v | grep port_name

3. If the hosts are connected to the storage system using FC switches, implement zoning to isolate traffic for each HBA:
   NOTE Skip this step if hosts are directly connected to the storage system.
   1. Use the FC switch management interface to create a zone for each server HBA. Each zone must contain only one HBA WWN and all the storage port WWNs.
   2. Repeat for each FC switch.
      NOTE The ME5 Series storage systems support single initiator/multiple target zones.
