Dell PowerVault MD32xxi Configuration Guide for VMware ESX4.1 Server Software

When this is done click Close or enter in another IP Address if there are multiple SANs in your environment.

You will be prompted for a Rescan of the HBAs but at this time as there are no volumes 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 Volume and assign it to this ESX host via the iqn name.

Create a new volume named ‘1’.
