To create a shared lvmohba SR, perform the following steps on each host in the pool:
1.Zone in one or more LUNs to each XenServer host in the pool. This process is highly specific to the SAN equipment in use. Please refer to your SAN documentation for details.
2.If necessary, use the HBA CLI included in the XenServer host to configure the HBA:
•Emulex: /usr/sbin/hbanyware
•QLogic FC: /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI
•QLogic iSCSI: /opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferiCLI
See the section called “Managing Hardware Host Bus Adapters (HBAs)” for an example of QLogic iSCSI HBA configuration. For more information on Fibre Channel and iSCSI HBAs please refer to the Emulex and QLogic websites.
3.Use the
The global device path returned as the <path> property will be common across all hosts in the pool and therefore must be used as the value for the
If multiple LUNs are present use the vendor, LUN size, LUN serial number, or the SCSI ID as included in the <path> property to identify the desired LUN.
