I've just completed an ESX server build and now want to add in some additional storage. I have an EVA6000 HP SAN which I already connect other application servers to. (Exchange etc...)
4GB FC already installed in the ESX server and the path is open to the SAN via brocade switching
My question is as follows.
I created a 500GB Virtual Disk and am going to connect the HBA on the ESX box and map to this VDisk. If i run a discovery and the server picks up the new storage, is there going to be any issues when I try and format/prepare the LUN for VMware use or will ESX just see the disk as RAW. I am fairly new to HP SANS and dont want to mess up the whole Virtual array.
