3 Execute these commands for SPB to have it return Not Ready sense data.<br />
Press Enter only after you enter all<br />
commands.SMcli.exe ip-addr-for-SPB set controller [b] HostNVSRAMBYTE [13,0x12]=0x01; set<br />
controller [b] HostNVSRAMBYTE [13,0x13]=0x00; reset Controller [b]<br />
NOTE If you use the DS4800 <strong>Storage</strong> Manager GUI, paste the configuration commands for both storage<br />
processors into a single script and configure both storage processors at the same time. If you use<br />
SMcli.exe, make individual connections to each SP.<br />
IBM Systems <strong>Storage</strong> 8000 and IBM ESS800<br />
The IBM Systems <strong>Storage</strong> 8000 and IBM ESS800 systems use an active-active array that does not need special<br />
configuration in conjunction with <strong>VMware</strong> <strong>ESXi</strong>.<br />
The following considerations apply when you use these systems:<br />
n Automatic resignaturing is not supported for these systems.<br />
n To use RDMs successfully, a given LUN must be presented with the same LUN ID to every <strong>ESXi</strong> host in<br />
the cluster.<br />
n In the ESS800 Configuration Management tool, select Use same ID for LUN in source and target.<br />
n If you are configuring the host to use boot from SAN from these arrays, disable the internal fibre port for<br />
the corresponding blade until installation is finished.<br />
HP <strong>Storage</strong>Works <strong>Storage</strong> Systems<br />
This section includes configuration information for the different HP <strong>Storage</strong>Works storage systems.<br />
For additional information, see the HP ActiveAnswers section on <strong>VMware</strong> <strong>ESXi</strong> at the HP web site.<br />
HP <strong>Storage</strong>Works EVA<br />
To use an HP <strong>Storage</strong>Works EVA system with <strong>ESXi</strong>, you must configure the correct host mode type.<br />
Set the connection type to Custom when you present a LUN to the host. The value is one of the following:<br />
n For EVA4000/6000/8000 active-active arrays with firmware below 5.031, use the host mode type<br />
000000202200083E.<br />
n For EVA4000/6000/8000 active-active arrays with firmware 5.031 and above, use the host mode type<br />
<strong>VMware</strong>.<br />
Otherwise, EVA systems do not require special configuration changes to work with an <strong>ESXi</strong> system.<br />
See the <strong>VMware</strong> Infrastructure, HP <strong>Storage</strong>Works Best Practices at the HP Web site.<br />
HP <strong>Storage</strong>Works XP<br />
For HP <strong>Storage</strong>Works XP, you need to set the host mode to specific parameters.<br />
n On XP128/1024/10000/12000, set the host mode to Windows (0x0C).<br />
n On XP24000/20000, set the host mode to 0x01.<br />
