Chapter 12. Host configuration 533
12.3.3 Windows 2008 R2 FCoE volume attachment
The equipment we have for demonstrating volume attachment for an FCoE capable server is
an IBM Flex System x240 Compute Node running Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise,
two IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switches and one IBM Flex
System V7000 Storage Node. All is installed in a single IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
To perform FCoE volume attachment in Windows 2008 R2, complete the following steps:
1. Configure connectivity between the host and IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node.
It is done on the FCoE capable switches and includes configuring VLANs. For more
information about how to configure VLANs on the CN4093 FCoE switches, see
Chapter 11, “SAN connections and configuration” on page 457.
2. Configure appropriate zoning for interconnecting the 10 Gb FCoE host ports with the IBM
Flex System V7000 Storage Node 10 Gb FCoE ports. For more information about how to
configure zoning on the CN4093 FCoE switches, see Chapter 11, “SAN connections and
configuration” on page 457.
3. On IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node, click your Windows 2008 R2 FCoE host in the
All Hosts view (Figure 5-37) and review that a volume is mapped to the host.
Figure 12-33 shows that a 200 GB volume is mapped to our FCoE host.
