Defining storage
You create a storage pool entry or a storage entry associated with a cross-technology logical
server in the same way as you do for physical to physical or virtual to virtual logical servers,
using Modify→Logical Server Storage Pools… or Create→Logical Server….
For both Virtual Connect logical server and virtual machine logical server storage, SAN Storage
Entry is the storage type in the drop-down menu on the Manage Storage Pool or Create Logical
Server Storage Configuration screen.
IMPORTANT: You can use cross-technology logical servers only if your storage is SAN based.
Virtual machine logical servers can be moved to physical systems if the VM storage uses RDM.
Data store-based VMs cannot be moved across technologies.
In this release, cross-technology logical servers can be connected to only one SAN LUN (for boot
and data).
To allow flexibility and movement between underlying technology types, storage must be
presented to both the WWNs tied to the Virtual Connect server profile as well as to any ESX VM
Hosts that are potential targets for the logical server. Storage pool entries must be created within
the same portability group as the logical server(s) that will use the storage.
See “Defining storage for logical servers” (page 69) for more information.
Defining a network
You create a network definition for a cross-technology logical server in the same way as you do
for standard logical servers, using Create→Logical Servers… and specifying information on
the Network screen.
