How to Create a HP 3PAR F400 LUN for 3 Node Cluster

Post by guz2014 »

I have to present 1TB LUN on each 3 ESX node cluster for a total of 3 TB LUN. Not sure if creating one host using of all WWN is the correct way?

-I created a CPG at 3 TB limit
-I created a VV for 1 TB with User CPG of 3 TB
-I created a host and assign all WWN

:(

I think you ware saying you want to present volumes to 3 hosts in a cluster? If so then define each host to the array individually. Then add the 3 hosts to a host set on the array and then export the volume to the host set.

Exactly what he said:

  • Create each node of cluster as 1 separate host each, with just it's own wwns.
  • Add each host to a host set, I label the host set with the shared cluster name.
  • Export the LUN To the host set.
