Hi,
I'm new to HP-UX, and I'm going to install some BL860 with HP-UX 11i v3.
In one of the blades we are going to create some Virtual Machines, also with HP-UX 11i v3.
I'm reading some documentation, but there is one thing I've not found, about SAN storage access from the VM guests.
If there is a SAN (HP EVA) Lun assigned to a non virtualized HP-UX server and I do a mirrorclone of this Lun, can I assign this clone to a VM Guest?
I've read about Attached I/O, but it only talks about tapes, changers or burners.
I've also read somewhere that "All mass storage is visible to guests as SCSI disks regardless of the physical connection", so I don't know if the VM guest will handle the SAN Lun in the same way as the non virtualized HP-UX, and so be able to read the data in the SAN Lun.
Does anybody know something about this?
I know in AIX it's not possible to virtualize (with VIO Server) a Lun if it was accessed directly (well you can but you won't be able to read the data).
Thanks.
