5. In the Disk Capacity section, designate a capacity that is suitable for the amount of storage
available on your ESX Server.
6. In the Location section, select Store with Virtual Machine, and click Next.
7. For the first disk, select the Virtual Device Node to be SCSI1:0 from the list. For additional
disks, assign SCSI 1:1 through 1:4, in sequential order.
CAUTION: Selecting anything other than SCSI 1:0 for the first disk causes RAID to be
unconfigurable later.
8. Select Mode→Independent→Persistent and click Next.

Powering on the VSA and setting IP address and hostname
1. In the inventory panel, select the new VSA and power it on.
2. Select the Console tab and wait for the VSA to boot.
3. When the VSA finishes booting, enter Start and press Enter to log in to the Configuration
Interface.
4. On the Configuration Interface main menu, tab to Network TCP/IP Settings and press Enter.
5. On the Available Network Devices window, tab to the network interface and press Enter.
6. On the Network Settings window, tab to the Hostname field and enter a host name for the
VSA. Use backspace to erase an entry if necessary.
This host name displays in the CMC only. It does not change the name of the original .vmx
file or the name of the virtual machine in the VMware interface.
7. Tab to the method for setting the IP address.
If entering a static IP address, note that Gateway is a required field. If you do not have a
gateway, enter 0.0.0.0.
8. Tab to OK and press Enter.
9. Press Enter again to confirm the action.
10. After the settings are configured, press Enter to confirm the IP address change.
11. On the Available Network Devices window, tab to Back and press Enter.
12. On the Configuration Interface, tab to Log Out and press Enter.
Finishing up with VI Client
1. In the VI Client Information Panel, click the Summary tab.
2. In the General section on the Summary tab, verify that the IP address and host name are
correct, and that VMware Tools are running.
NOTE: If VMware Tools show out of date or Unmanaged, then they are running correctly.
These statuses are not a problem, because the tools are available and running. VMware tools
are updated with each SAN/iQ software upgrade.
3. Optional: If you want the name of the VSA to match the host name in the CMC, in the inventory
panel, right-click the VSA and select Rename and enter the host name.
