Executive summary

EMC is aggressively expanding product sets from high-end to midtier markets. Through VMware—the

industry leader of x86 server-virtualization software—and EMC

CLARiiON

, which offers the best

performance in midtier storage, EMC is integrating cutting-edge virtualization technology into its core

storage business.

Our latest enhancement, available on the CX4 series, is the Navisphere

VM-aware feature. This feature

eliminates the painstaking task of manually mapping out the virtual infrastructure, and simplifies common

administrative activities such as troubleshooting and capacity planning in virtualized environments. The

“

Navisphere’s new VM-aware feature” section has more information.

Introduction

This white paper outlines the benefits of using VMware virtualization products with the CLARiiON storage

system and how to combine features to complement one another. This paper also discusses the connectivity

aspect of attaching VMware ESX Server to the CLARiiON storage system.

Audience

This paper is intended for customers, partners, and EMC field personnel requiring information about the

features, parameters, and configuration of VMware ESX Server. It includes information about how these

features integrate with the CLARiiON storage system. It is assumed that the audience is familiar with

CLARiiON hardware and software products, and has a general idea of how VMware ESX Server works.

CLARiiON terminology

CLARiiON LUN — Logical subdivisions of RAID groups in a CLARiiON storage system.

MetaLUNs — These are LUN objects created from multiple CLARiiON LUNs. MetaLUNs provide

dynamic LUN expansion and also distribute storage across a very large number of drives.

MirrorView™ — Software designed for disaster recovery solutions by mirroring local production data to a

remote disaster recovery site. It offers two complementary remote mirroring products:

MirrorView/Synchronous and MirrorView/Asynchronous.

RAID groups — One or more disks grouped together under a unique identifier in a CLARiiON storage

system.

SAN Copy™ — Data mobility software that runs on the CLARiiON.

SnapView™ — Software used to create replicas of the source LUN. These point-in-time replicas can be

pointer-based snapshots or full binary copies called clones or BCVs.

Storage Pool — A general term used to describe RAID groups and thin pools. In the Navisphere

Manager

GUI, the storage pool node contains RAID groups and thin pool nodes.

Thin LUN — A logical unit of storage where physical space allocated on the storage system may be less

than the user capacity seen by the host server.

VMware terminology

Cluster — A cluster is a collection of ESX Server hosts and associated virtual machines that share

resources and a management interface.

ESXi — VMware ESXi is a thin, embedded, version of the ESX server that does not have a service

console. It moves the server kernels to a dedicated hardware device.
