Dell PowerVault MD3200i/MD3600i Configuration Guide for VMware ESX4.1 Server Software
Note: Port binding requires that all target ports of the storage array must reside on
the same broadcast domain as the VMkernel ports because routing is not supported
with port binding. See VMware KB #2017084 here.
You will be prompted for a Rescan of the HBAs but at this time as there are no virtual
disks assigned it is unnecessary.
The next step will be to create a new volume and assign it to the ESX server. This can be
done multiple ways so refer to the PowerVault User's Guide for more information. In
this example we will create a 100GB virtual disk and assign it to this ESX host using the
iqn name.

Create virtual disks on MD3200i using steps described in:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/md3200i/multlang/GSG/DAO_BCC/GSG.pdf.
Note: in this example the Storage array is an MD3200i with virtual disks already configured using
the Configure Storage Array selection under the Setup Tab. The new ESX host being added is
named "VMware_host1".
After opening the Modular Disk Storage Manager and selecting the MD3200i storage array to be
configured, select the Mappings tab.
Manually Define Hosts by highlighting the Storage Array Name and right clicking. Select Define
-> Host.
