Note:

The collection of information is optional but recommended. If you attach a new branded storage system, a local customer support representative should collect the required data. After reviewing the data, they will add the external storage model to a listing of supported models. The customer support representative might also provide a profile that models your specific storage system. You have the option of continuing to use the external storage system or waiting for your customized profile. If the required data is not provided, support might be limited until the data is acquired.

Set up external ports on the local storage system.
Connect the external storage FC ports to the external ports of the local storage system.
Virtualize at least four LUNs from the external storage.
If virtualization fails, contact customer support.
Connect two FC ports of the local storage system to two HBAs of the server.
Provision the ELUNs mapped to the LUNs (step 3) on the ES to the UVM FC ports.
Run an I/O generator to the virtualized LUNs. IOMETER or VDBENCH can be used.
1. Delete the external path of the highest priority during the I/O.
2. Add the external path as the highest priority during the I/O.
Stop the I/O.
