This section describes how to configure storage devices for Resource Orchestrator.
The settings differ depending on whether the L-Server is physical or virtual.
When Using Physical L-Servers
Configure SAN Storage Environments
Configure HBA address rename or VIOM coordination
Configure the HBA address rename function or VIOM coordination in advance.
Configure the storage and fibre channel switch, install and set up storage management software
With physical L-Servers, virtual storage resources and disk resources are controlled via storage management software.
When allocating disk resources automatically created from virtual storage to physical L-Servers, create the virtual storage resources such as RAID groups or aggregates in advance.
When allocating disk resources to physical L-Servers, create the disk resources such as LUNs in advance.
When using ETERNUS storage
Refer to "D.3.1 When Using ETERNUS Storage".
When using NetApp FAS storage
Refer to "D.3.2 When Using NetApp FAS Storage".
When using EMC CLARiiON storage
Refer to "D.3.3 When Using EMC CLARiiON Storage".
When using EMC Symmetrix DMX storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage
Refer to "D.3.4 When Using EMC Symmetrix DMX Storage or EMC Symmetrix VMAX Storage".
Configure iSCSI Storage Environments
Configure the storage and fibre channel switch, install and set up storage management software
When using iSCSI boot on physical L-Servers, create LUNs that can be connected to L-Servers in advance.
When using ETERNUS storage
Refer to "D.3.1 When Using ETERNUS Storage".
When using NetApp FAS storage
Refer to "D.3.2 When Using NetApp FAS Storage".
When Using Virtual L-Servers
Configure the storage and fibre channel switch, install and set up VM management software
Virtual L-Servers are controlled via VM management software.
Create the virtual storage resources such as datastores and the disk resources such as raw devices in advance.
When Using VMware

When Using Hyper-V
Refer to "Storage Preparations" in "E.3.2 Preparations".
When Using RHEL5-Xen
Refer to "Storage Preparations" in "E.4.2 Preparations".
When Using Oracle VM
Refer to "Storage Preparations" in "E.5.2 Preparations".
When Using RHEL-KVM
Refer to "Storage Preparations" in "E.6.2 Preparations".
