Fibre Channel configuration
This example uses two HP 4/64 SAN switches, with a zone created on each.
The Fibre Channel configuration is summarized in Table E-3.

Configuring the vSphere host
After the SAN topology and array-side configuration have been completed, you can configure HBA3 to be used as a
VMDirectPath HBA for the Windows Server 2008 VM.
Note
If desired, you could configure VMDirectPath HBAs before configuring the SAN.
This appendix outlines a procedure for configuring VMDirectPath
.
First, complete the following prerequisites:
• Open a PuTTY (ssh client) session
to the particular vSphere host.
• Open a vSphere Client connection to the vSphere host.
This procedure assumes that you have never performed this task before. Alternate methods are available.
While not necessary, an ssh session may be useful the first time you perform this procedure.
