3-Fibre Channel SAN Preparation
Host Presentation (Mapping) of Storage LUN
After creating a LUN, mount a volume in the LUN. (For more information, see the
HP storage array documentation).
NOTE:
The LUN must be an NTFS formatted LUN.
The LUN is then mapped (or presented/masked) to the host server. For the HP
MSA array, this is accomplished by mapping the LUN to the host bus adapter
port, as shown in

with one volume mounted. Additionally, all hosts (Fibre Channel adapter ports)
discovered by the storage are also displayed.
NOTE:
As a best practice for NPIV SAN migration, create a separate LUN for each
guest VM running under Hyper-V.
The LUN in this example is vd01_1000.
