BPCUI373I Volumes are assigned to the hypervisors that host virtual machines. Volumes are not assigned directly to virtual machines that do not have NPIV ports. None of the hypervisors that manage the virtual machines appear to have Fibre Channel connectivity. In the resulting provisioning task, ensure that the recommended storage system is connected to the hypervisors before you run the task. Also, be aware that all fabric-related options will be ignored.

Explanation

Typically, you cannot request volumes for servers or hypervisors that do not have fabric connectivity. However, because all of the hypervisors that are managing the selected virtual machines have Fibre Channel port WWPNs and none appear to the product to to have fabric connectivity, it is possible that the fabrics were not probed. For this reason, you can use the Provision Storage wizard to request volumes even though the hypervisors appear to have no fabric connectivity. However, all of the fabric-related options (number of paths, redundant fabrics, and automatic zoning) will be ignored.

Action

If a provisioning task cannot be created, ensure that the hypervisors are connected to the recommended storage systems before you run the task. You must manually configure the fabric. Alternatively, make sure that the hypervisors have fabric connectivity and probe the fabrics. To assign volumes to virtual machines, wait until the provisioning operation completes. Then, use the hypervisor manager to assign the hypervisor disks to the virtual machines.
