Configuration in which a virtual HBA is allocated for each virtual machine (by using NPIV HBAs)
Figure 10 Operation workflow for allocating volumes to virtual machines (when allocating a virtual
HBA to each virtual machine)
1. Register the virtualization servers that run the virtual machines whose volume status you want to
manage in Device Manager.
2. When you manage the virtualization servers from vMA, register the virtual WWN assigned to
each virtual HBA in Device Manager.
3. Register the virtual machines whose volume usage you want to manage in Device Manager as
normal hosts.
4. Allocate the LUN paths of volumes to both the virtualization servers (physical WWNs) and virtual
machines (virtual WWNs), and then make the virtual machines recognize the volumes as RAW
device.
Note that Device Manager cannot recognize volumes that make up a datastore.
