The Configure ESX Host to Storage Array wizard allows you to see how the current host is configured to the
storage array (if already configured). You can also use this wizard to add, remove or rename a host or host
group, or automatically configure the host to another storage array.
Figure 26. Configure Host to Storage Array View (Fibre Channel)
To automatically configure the host to a Dell MD storage array:
1
Select the MD storage array to be configured and click Suggest.
All unassigned HBA ports re grouped into pairs and a new host and host group defined.
2
When the configuration is correct, click OK to apply the changes to the storage array.
You can also modify the configuration based on the fibre-channel zoning rules from the previous ESX
Host SAN Configuration section. Suggested changes will be shown in blue.
The Rename and Remove options apply only to uncommitted changes. You cannot rename or remove
existing configured hosts or host groups. Existing host and host group configuration changes must be
performed using MDSM.
The wizard displays progress while the requested configuration changes are made. You must manually
close the progress window once the changes are complete. Only hosts that are prefixed with ESX and
host groups prefixed with VMware will be displayed. Any other hosts or host groups configured on the
storage array will not be displayed in the wizard even though they may be properly configured.
NOTE: To use this wizard on multiple host groups, your MD storage array must have the storage
partitioning premium feature enabled.
