For the SAS protocol, you determine host port addresses and make the recommended settings.
Step 1: Determine SAS host identifiers—VMware
Find the SAS addresses using the HBA utility, and then use the HBA BIOS to make the appropriate configuration settings.
Review the guidelines for HBA utilities:
-
Most HBA vendors offer an HBA utility.
-
Download the HBA utility from your HBA vendor's web site.
-
Install the utility.
-
Use the HBA BIOS to select the appropriate settings for your configuration.
For appropriate settings, see the Notes column of the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool for recommendations.
Step 2: Record your configuration
You can generate and print a PDF of this page, and then use the following worksheet to record your protocol-specific storage configuration information. You need this information to perform provisioning tasks.
