Server administrator tasks

While you configure NPIV, you can complete the server administrator tasks.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that your VM is turned off.
  2. Add an pRDM disk to the VM.
  3. Enable NPIV with the vSphere client by assigning virtual WWPNs.
  4. Record the Node WWN and the Port WWNs. Give this information to the storage administrator so that the administrator can zone and LUN-mask the back-end storage.
  5. After the storage administrator completes zoning and configuration, you can safely turn on the VM.
