Testing connections to the EVA
After installing the FCAs, you can create and test connections between the host server and the
EVA. For all operating systems, you must:
• Add hosts
• Create and present virtual disks
• Verify virtual disks from the hosts
The following sections provide information that applies to all operating systems. For OS-specific
details, see the applicable operating system section.
