Assigning the Virtual Disks to Cluster Nodes
NOTE: For best practice, have at least one virtual disk for each application. If multiple NTFS partitions are created on a single LUN or virtual disk, these partitions will not be able to fail over individually from
To perform data I/O to the virtual disks, assign the virtual disks to a cluster node by performing the following steps:
1Open a Web browser.
2Type the storage system IP address in the Address field. The Navisphere Express console is displayed.
3Login with user name and password that were created during the storage initialization.
4In the Manage menu,
a Click Disk Pools. You can create multiple disk pools.
b Click Virtual Disks. You can create multiple virtual disks for each disk pool.
c In the Virtual Disks screen, select the virtual disks that you want to assign to the cluster node and click Assign Server.
5In Assign Server screen, select the cluster nodes that you want to assign to the virtual disk and click Apply.
6Repeat step 4 and step 5 for each virtual disk.
7Close the Navisphere Express window.
8Verify that the PowerPath on the cluster nodes can access all paths to the virtual disks.
