Assigning the Virtual Disks to Cluster Nodes
NOTE: For best practices, configure at least one virtual disk for each application.
Ifmultiple NTFS partitions are created on a single LUN or virtual disk, these
partitions are not able to failover individually from node-to-node.
To perform data I/O to the virtual disks, assign the virtual disks to a cluster
node by performing the following steps:
1
Open a Web browser.
2
In the
Address
field, type the storage system IP address. The Navisphere
Express console appears.
3
Login with the user name and password that was created during the
storage initialization.

a
Click
Disk Pools

b
Click
Virtual Disks
. Create one or more Virtual Disks for each disk pool.
c
Click
Virtual Disks
, select the virtual disks that you want to assign to
the cluster node, and then click
Assign Server
.

In
Virtual Disk - Assign Server
screen, select the cluster nodes that you
want to assign to the virtual disk and click
Apply
.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each virtual disk.

Close the
Navisphere Express
window.

Verify that the PowerPath on the cluster nodes can access all paths to the
virtual disks.
