11.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage Release Notes

2. Select RdmFilter and clear the box RdmFilter.HbaIsShared. This allows local disks to be used

as RDMs.

3. Click OK to save this change.

4. You may need to rescan the disks in order to see the RDMs. If so, on the same Configuration

tab, select Storage in the Hardware section. Click Rescan All.

5. Select the VSA VM on the host and click Edit Settings.

6. For each Hard disk device listed as a Mapped Raw LUN, record the Physical LUN, which

will look like the following:

vml.0200020000600508b1001cb1602e32a696902775a54c4f47494341.

7. Record the Virtual Device Node (SCSI target ID) for each device.

8. Click Remove the device. Repeat as necessary for all RDMs.

9. Click OK on the Virtual Machine Properties to accept these changes and free up the SCSI

IDs for those devices.

10. Add the RDMs back by clicking Add.

a. Select Hard Disk and click Next.

b. Select Raw Device Mappings and click Next

c. Select the device that corresponds to the Physical LUN information saved in step 6. The

corresponding device to the example would be

naa.600508b1001cb1602e32a696902775a5. Click Next.

d. Select Store with Virtual Machine and click Next.

e. Select Physical Compatibility and click Next.

f. Select the SCSI ID recorded in step 7 and click Next. (Correlating the target ID back to

the volume is not critical. StoreVirtual software writes the WWID to the volume label and

the system will figure out which volume is which on boot).

g. Click Finish, and repeat for any additional RDMs.

11. Click OK to save all the changes.

12. Power on the VSA.

• VSA CPU guidance and other best practices

For detailed information about designing and configuring the HP StoreVirtual VSA solution, see

the technical white paper entitled HP StoreVirtual VSA Design and Configuration Guide, which

is available at the following location:

• StoreVirtual VSA for Microsoft Hyper-V does support up to two virtual network interfaces

The HP StoreVirtual Storage VSA Installation and Configuration Guide lists the following note in

the Unsupported Configurations section: “Only the VSA for vSphere is configured with two network

interfaces. The VSA for Hyper-V is configured with one network interface.”

While the installer for the StoreVirtual VSA for Hyper-V only configures one virtual network interface,

an additional virtual network interface can be added manually via the virtual machine settings.

This information will be clarified in a future version of the HP StoreVirtual Storage VSA Installation

and Configuration Guide.

• The StoreVirtual VSA installer creates VSA for vSphere with no data disks

The following error occurs:
