You can use iSCSI
when you configure the VSS provider in
a physical environment.
Procedure
- Connect
to the storage using CIMOM.
- Create the free
storage pool and reserved storage pool
for VSS. Define the virtual hosts VSS_FREE_POOL and VSS_RESERVED_POOL on
the storage system with the following sample WWPN: 5000000000000000
and 5000000000000001.
- Issue the following
commands to set the sample WWPN of
the free storage pool and the reserved storage pool:
- ibmvcfg set vssFreeInitiator
- ibmvcfg
set vssReservedInitiator
- Map
the source volumes to the physical storage by iSCSI.
- Map the target volumes to the free storage pool.
| Note: Each
target volume must be exactly the
same size as the corresponding source volume.
