You must configure hosts that are running a Microsoft
Windows Server operating system before you can use the hosts with
the Lenovo Storage V series system.
Before you configure the Windows host operating system,
you must ensure that the following tasks were completed:
- Your Lenovo service representative installed the system.
- You installed the appropriate host bus adapter and driver on the
host.
After the prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following
general steps to configure your Windows host operating system:
- Zone the host to the system on
the Fibre Channel SAN.
- Install the appropriate multipathing driver for your host
to enable the management of multiple paths to Lenovo Storage V series volumes.
- Create the host on the system by using the worldwide
port names (WWPNs). Map the volumes to the host.
- Create volumes/disks on your host by using instructions
in your host publications.
