Configuring Fibre Channel storage
To add Fibre Channel (FC) storage, we first get a list of LUNs added to the host. To get a list, we can use the Get-ScsiLun cmdlet. The format is as follows:
PS C:\> Get-ScsiLun -VmHost Esxi1.lab.com | Select CanonicalName CanonicalName ------------- naa.60060e801660c500000160c500000107 naa.60060e801660c500000160c500000108 naa.60060e801660c500000160c500000109
Once we get a list of the attached LUNs and identify the particular LUN that we want to add to the host, we create a new datastore using the New-Datastore cmdlet:
PS C:\> New-Datastore -Name SAN-1 -VMHost Esxi1.lab.com -Path naa.60060e801660c500000160c500000109 -Vmfs
This will create a new VMFS datastore with the name SAN-1. If we rescan all the HBAs, then it will be visible to other hosts as well.
