Wow, you gotta be kidding! That's a lot of work just to make a disk or two appear on a server. The Xsigo I/O Director makes this so much easier. All you have to do on the Xsigo CLI is:

admin@oregon[xsigo] add vhba vh1.server1 4/2

This will create a virtual HBA on the physical server connected to server profile 'server1'. The server will see the LUNs within a couple of seconds. On a Linux host these will appear as /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, etc.

That's it. No VSANs, no flogi commands. Done in a few seconds, and on a live server.

Simple and reliable.
