Figure 33: Creating a file-based storage entry for a virtual machine logical server
Figure 34 shows the resultant two volumes visible in the Create Logical Server wizard (after clicking the “Save” button
in Figure 33). The storage entry can be modified as appropriate to add or remove volumes/files using the “Modify”
button. In this example, the ESX data store is a Fibre Channel SAN disk provided via SVSP (the HP SAN
Virtualization Services Platform).
Figure 34: Creating a virtual machine logical server with file-based storage
Figure 35 shows the definition of a storage entry for a virtual machine. Each virtual machine logical server will have
only one storage entry for their file-based storage. The “File (VM) Storage Entry” choice is no longer available after it
has been used once (thus Figure 35 shows the only available type as “SAN Storage Entry”). Several volumes (actually
files in the hypervisor file system) can be represented in this one entry. The storage entry is not included in the storage
pool.
