VMware ESX server deployments
VMware ESX servers may host multiple guest operating systems. A guest operating system may
have its own physical HBA port connection, or it may use a virtual port and share a physical HBA
port with other guest operating systems.
Figure 105 shows a VMware ESX server with two guest operating systems where each guest
accesses a fabric over separate host ports.
There are two paths to a target storage device:
• Host port 1 to target port 1, redirected through CTC T1.
• Host port 2 to target port 2, redirected through CTC T2.
Host port 1 is zoned with target port 1, and host port 2 is zoned with target port 2 to enable the
redirection zoning needed to redirect traffic to the correct CTC.
