Figure 3 Adding additional disks to RAID in the VSA for Hyper-V Server

RAID and the VSA for vSphere Server

If you have trouble configuring RAID now, you may have made a mistake when configuring a virtual disk earlier. On the ESX Server, verify that the VSA has at least one virtual disk. The first virtual disk must be configured on SCSI 1:0. Additional disks must be configured sequentially on SCSI 1:1 through 1:4. VSAs use SCSI 0:0 and 0:1 for operating system disks, and use the disk configured for SCSI 1:0 for SAN data storage. If no SCSI disk is configured for SCSI 1:0, RAID cannot be configured on the appliance.

NOTE: If you want to clone the VSA for vSphere Server, do it now. You must only clone a VSA while it is in the Available Systems pool.

Creating the iSCSI SAN

Use the Management Groups, Clusters, and Volumes wizard to create your storage pool. For information about using the wizards, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide or the HP StoreVirtual Storage Online Help.

Best Practice Summary

Use the Best Practice Summary on the SAN Status Page in the CMC to review your SAN configuration and to ensure you are following best practices for the disk RAID and Network RAID configurations, as well as network configurations and the overall SAN configuration. The Best Practice Summary provides an easy-to-use reference about best practices that can increase the reliability and performance of your SAN configurations. Move the mouse over a best practice item to see an explanation of the best practice.

1.Navigate to the SAN Status Page in the CMC.

2.Log in to the management group to verify the Best Practices for that management group.
