C Deploying VMware ESX Server with SVSP
For current information regarding VMware and SVSP, see the HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization
Services Platform release notes.
To ensure proper deployment, the following sections must be followed in order. HP recommends that
you test this deployment in a test environment before using it in a production environment. The ESXi
4.0 Configuration Guide is available at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/

For additional VMware information, see the storage section in the VMware ESX Serve r 3i Configuratio n
Guide available at https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3i_e/r35u2/

Deployment overview
The basic supported setup includes two Data Path Modules (DPMs) and two VSM servers. From the
VMware side, the supported setup includes standalone VMware ESX servers and/or VMware cluster
with HA and DSR. These features ensure high availability and resource load balancing for the entire
VMware storage environment. It is highly recommended that you build an environment that combines
VMware cluster (HA+DSR) with at least two DPMs, two VSM servers, and two storage systems (or
one storage system with two controllers) as presented in the following diagram.
