Chapter 12 Modifying iSCSI Storage Systems for ESXiEMC Symmetrix Storage SystemsTo work with ESXi, EMC Symmetrix storage systems require certain specific settings. Use EMC software toconfigure the storage system.The following settings are required for ESXi operations on the Symmetrix networked storage system:• Common serial number (C)• Auto negotiation (EAN) enabled• SCSI 3 (SC3) set (enabled)• Unique world wide name (UWN)• SPC-2 (Decal) (SPC2) SPC-2 flag is requiredNOTE The ESXi host considers any LUNs from a Symmetrix storage system that have a capacity of 50MB orless as management LUNs. These LUNs are also known as pseudo or gatekeeper LUNs. These LUNs appearin the EMC Symmetrix Management Interface and should not be used to hold data.Enable HP StorageWorks MSA1510i to Communicate with ESXiThis section describes the setup and configuration steps needed to allow an HP StorageWorks MSA1510istorage system to communicate with ESXi hosts.Procedure1 Install, connect, and power up the network devices as detailed in the vendor installation document.2 Obtain the IP address assigned to the MSA1510i controller management port.abScroll through the messages on the LCD panel until the following message appears: 603 Port MA0IP addressRecord the management port IP address that appears in Basic MSA1510i information.3 From the server or a workstation on the MSA1510i LAN segment, open a Web browser and enter theaddress obtained in Step 2.4 When prompted, enter the default access permissions.• User name: root• Password: root5 When prompted, set a unique user name and password.VMware, Inc. 103
