50 Preparing Your Systems for Clustering
Creating Host-to-Virtual Disk Mappings
Create host-to-virtual disk mappings to assign virtual disks to the host groups
containing cluster nodes by clicking the Configure tab, then clicking the
Create Host-to-Virtual Disk Mappings link. When you click this link, the
PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager displays a series of pages in which
you select the Host Group containing the cluster nodes and virtual disks to be
mapped. After you complete this configuration, verify the mapping by
clicking the Host-to-Virtual Disk Mappings link on the Summary tab to
ensure that the configuration was created correctly.
Loading RAID Controller Module NVSRAM for Non-Redundant Configuration
For proper operation, the non-redundant configuration requires a special
NVSRAM file be loaded onto the PowerVault MD3000i RAID enclosure.
The NVSRAM file is located at the \utility\NVSRAM\ directory on the
PowerVaultMD3000i Resource Media, with a prefix of Non-redundant-
MSCS. To load the NVSRAM file to the PowerVault MD3000i RAID
enclosure, from the storage management station, open the PowerVault
Modular Disk Storage Manager Client.
