Configuring and adding Hyper-V Virtual Fibre Channel to virtual machines
Fibre Channel (FC) is one of the best and the fastest network technologies used primarily for storage connections. It's the perfect choice for high-speed connections between the servers and the storage, and it's common in physical server scenarios.
Now in Hyper-V 3.0, we can add fibre channel network adapters to virtual machines, providing the same capabilities and high performance as a physical server, allowing the guest operating system to be used in clustered environments, for example.
This recipe will show how to create the fibre channel SANs and add them to a VM.
Getting ready
Before you create the Fibre Channel SANs, make sure that the Fibre Channel port's HBAs are installed and enabled in the physical computer.
How to do it...
In the following steps, you will see how to add and configure a new Fibre Channel SAN for a virtual machine.
To create a new Fibre Channel SAN, open the Hyper-V Manager and click on Virtual...
