You must configure hosts that are running
a Microsoft Windows Server operating system before you can use the
hosts with the Lenovo Storage V7000 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 system to the Lenovo Storage V7000 system on the Fibre Channel SAN.
- Install the appropriate multipathing driver for your host
system to enable the management of multiple paths to Lenovo Storage V7000 volumes.
- Create the host system on the Lenovo Storage V7000 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 system publications.
