HP Insight Virtualization Manager with Logical Server Management 6.1 User Guide

1. Click the Add Volume button to on the right side of the screen to add a row to the Volume
& Path Selection table.
2. Select a value from the Boot Volume drop-down menu. Select Yes if the volume is a boot
volume. Select No if the volume is a data volume.
3. Enter the size in GB for the storage volume. (Size is typically 10-30 GB.)
4. Select a RAID Level for the storage volume. The default is None.
5. Assign the port number to be the Primary boot path (and Secondary boot path, if you selected
Redundancy for the storage volume).
6. Obtain storage port WWNs and LUN identifiers corresponding to the server WWN for each
storage volume. (If these values are not readily available, you can save this storage entry
and use the Modify→Logical Server... menu selection to add storage values later. The
storage port WWN and LUN identifier are required before you can activate the logical
server.)
7. Optional: Enter the storage port WWN for each server WWN. (This value must be entered
before the logical server can be activated.)
8. Optional: Enter the LUN identifier for each server WWN. (This value must be entered before
the logical server can be activated.)
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for each storage volume for this logical server.

Validation status
After you have specified your storage configuration, confirm that the server WWN has been
associated with the storage port WWN and LUN by pressing the Validate button.
See “Validating storage” (page 82) for more information.
Defining a file (VM) storage entry
The File (VM) Storage Entry screen allows you to specify the file storage configuration for an
ESX or Hyper-V virtual machine logical server.
File (VM) storage can reside on a local drive or on a SAN drive.
NOTE: If you want to the ability to move the virtual machine logical server to a server with
Virtual Connect, specify RDM storage instead of File (VM) storage. See “Defining a SAN storage
entry” (page 71).
Perform the following steps to define a File (VM) storage entry.
1. Enter the “File (VM) storage entry definition” (page 75)
2. Enter the “File (VM) storage selection” (page 75)
