Creating the disk
1. Power off the VSA.
2. Using either VMware Server, VI Client, or Microsoft virtual machine manager, add from 1 to 4
disks to the VSA.
3. Assign each disk to the next sequential SCSI address or location.
4. Configure the ESX Server disks as independent and persistent.
Configure the Hyper-V disks as fixed size.
5. Increase memory based on the total capacity of the VSA, according to the requirements in Table
9 on page 28.
6. Power on the VSA when you have finished adding disks.
Adding disks to RAID
A new disk appears as Uninitialized in the Disk Setup tab of the Storage configuration category. Add
the new disk to RAID, which automatically powers the disk on.
1. In the CMC, navigate to the VSA.
2. Select the Storage configuration category and select the Disk Setup tab.
3. Select the disk you want to add to RAID.
Disks must be added to RAID sequentially. For example, you cannot add disk 3 to RAID if disk
2 has not been added.
4. Right-click and select Add Disk to RAID.
Changing the disk size on the SAN
Use the VI Client or Microsoft Hyper-V manager if you want to change the disk size of a VSA that is
currently in your HP StorageWorks SAN Solution.
