Order of Operations

Whether being used as a bridging switch between FC or SCSI and iSCSI or as a storage virtualization switch, the V-Switch is operated in the following manner:

STEP 1. CONNECT THE V-SWITCH TO THE REQUISITE DEVICES AND

NETWORKS; POWER UP THE V SWITCH.

STEP 2.	CONFIGURE THE V-SWITCH AND ITS INTERFACES.
STEP 3.	CREATE VIRTUAL VOLUMES FROM THE PHYSICAL DISKS.
STEP 4.	ASSIGN LUNS TO VIRTUAL VOLUMES; CREATE ISCSI TARGETS;

ATTACH LUNS TO TARGETS AND EXPOSE TO HOSTS.
