HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1.1 Administrator Guide (web) (TB581-96065, September 2011)

For each volume, you need to assign a path to the virtual machine (WWN) that you registered in
Device Manager. After assigning the paths, make the virtual machines recognize the volumes as RAW
devices.
NOTE:
If multiple virtual machines share the same HBA, regardless of which virtual machine you assign a
volume to, you need to assign all paths for that HBA to the virtual machine that is managed by Device
Manager. Therefore, after assigning a path, we recommend that you label each volume so that you
can identify, in Device Manager, which virtual machine the volume is actually assigned to.
Configuring Device Manager: virtual HBA assigned to each virtual machine
Register, as a normal host, each virtual machine to which you want to assign volumes. In addition,
register the virtualization server that runs in the same physical environment in Device Manager.
For each volume, you must assign a path to the virtualization server (physical WWN) and a path to
the virtual machine (virtual WWN). After assigning the paths, make the virtual machine recognize
the volumes as a RAW device.
Note that, to use a Device Manager agent to manage virtual machines on VMware ESX 4.x or
VMware ESXi 4.x, you need to register the virtual WWNs assigned to those virtual machines in
Device Manager.
To register the virtual WWNs in Device Manager:
1. Register the virtualization server in Device Manager.
