Figure 3 Adding additional disks to RAID in the VSA for Hyper-V Server

RAID and the VSA for vSphere Server

If you have trouble configuring RAID now, you may have made a mistake when configuring a

virtual disk earlier. On the ESX Server, verify that the VSA has at least one virtual disk. The first

virtual disk must be configured on SCSI 1:0. Additional disks must be configured sequentially on

SCSI 1:1 through 1:4. VSAs use SCSI 0:0 and 0:1 for operating system disks, and use the disk

configured for SCSI 1:0 for SAN data storage. If no SCSI disk is configured for SCSI 1:0, RAID

cannot be configured on the appliance.

NOTE: If you want to clone the VSA for vSphere Server, do it now. You must only clone a VSA

while it is in the Available Systems pool.

Creating the iSCSI SAN

Use the Management Groups, Clusters, and Volumes wizard to create your storage pool. For

information about using the wizards, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide or the HP

StoreVirtual Storage Online Help.

Best Practice Summary

Use the Best Practice Summary on the SAN Status Page in the CMC to review your SAN

configuration and to ensure you are following best practices for the disk RAID and Network RAID

configurations, as well as network configurations and the overall SAN configuration. The Best

Practice Summary provides an easy-to-use reference about best practices that can increase the

reliability and performance of your SAN configurations. Move the mouse over a best practice item

to see an explanation of the best practice.

1. Navigate to the SAN Status Page in the CMC.

2. Log in to the management group to verify the Best Practices for that management group.
