This section introduces the setup for Hitachi Data Systems storage. This storage solution is also available from Sun and as HP XP storage.
- LUN masking
- To mask LUNs on an ESXi host, use the HDS Storage Navigator software for best results.
- Microcode and configurations
- Check with your HDS representative for exact configurations and microcode levels needed for interoperability with ESXi. If your microcode is not supported, interaction with ESXi is usually not possible.
- Modes
-
The modes you set depend on the model you are using, for example:
- 9900 and 9900v uses Netware host mode.
- 9500v series uses Hostmode1: standard and Hostmode2: SUN Cluster.
Check with your HDS representative for host mode settings for the models not listed here.
