Setting Up VMs with Pass-through Devices

This section describes how to set up VMs with pass-through devices. You can add a pass-through device
to an existing VM or create a new VM using pass-through devices only.

Adding a Pass-through Device to an Existing VM

1. Create virtual disks for recently defined VMs on the MD32X0, MD32X0i, or MD36X0i
storage array.
2. Map the virtual disk to the VM.
In the example, the VM1PASSTHROUGH virtual disk is mapped to the Windows2003
VM.
3. View these disks in the Windows Disk Management window to make sure that they are
in the Offline state.
