04 Requirements for connecting a Cloud Server to the Unified Storage service

Before connecting a Cloud Server to the Unified Storage service:
  • you must have the mount point, which you can retrieve from the details page of the selected protocol in the Control Panel:
     
    Protocol Mount point
    CIFS \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\name
    iSCSI xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    NFS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/vol/abcxxxxx_x
  • you must have created a connection between the Cloud Server and the Unified Storage service VLAN from the Network Adapters area on the Cloud Server details page (VMware Cloud Server or Cloud Server Hyper-V);
  • if you use the iSCSI protocol, you must have added the Cloud Server iQN code to the iSCSI protocol.
