Identify FC HBAs on an ESXi server
Perform the following steps to identify the Fibre Channel HBAs on an ESXI server.
Steps
-
Login to the vSphere Client.
-
Add the newly configured ESXi host to the appropriate datacenter and select it in the inventory list.
-
On the
Configure tab, select
.
-
Verify that the required FC storage adapters are listed.
-
Select each adapter to see the WWN under
Properties for the HBA. Record the WWN for each HBA.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Repeat for each FC switch.
NOTE The
ME5 Series storage systems support single initiator/multiple target zones.
