You must configure hosts that are running a Microsoft Windows
Server operating system before you can use the hosts with the system.
Before you configure the Windows host operating system,
you must ensure that the following tasks were completed:
- Your system must be installed.
- 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 the system 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.
