5. Select the SC Series server host object from the drop-down list, and select a LUN number.
Note: To maintain consistency, the LUN number used to map the volume to the SC Series array should be
the same as the LUN number used to map the volume to the ESXi server.
6. On the Change Mapping window, click OK and select Yes.
7. Select the SC Series server host object and verify the volume has been successfully mapped.
Note: It is strongly recommended to take a snapshot of the VMware volume hosted on the MD3 array before
proceeding in online or offline mode. In the unlikely event of a failure during the import, a snapshot ensures
volume integrity in the case of a restore.
