The virtual disk is mounted like a physical disk and can be managed using the Windows Disk

Management utility. Partitions can be created, formatted, and destroyed on the virtual disk as

needed. Any number of virtual disks files can be created on a single physical CoServer disk.

Each virtual disk is then available for redirection to the FTvirtual Server using the same Device

Redirector functions you use to redirect a physical disk.

The CoServer installation procedure allows a virtual disk to be created during the Endurance

software installation and used as the FTvirtual Server boot disk. A single physical boot drive

can be used for both CoServer and FTvirtual Server boot disks when the FTvirtual Server boot

disk is created from a file resident on the CoServer boot disk. See the Endurance FTvirtual

Server Configuration and Installation Guide for details.

See Managing Virtual Disks in the Endurance FTvirtual Server Administrator’s Guide for more

details on creating and managing virtual disks. Also use the Device Redirector’s online Help for

information on the commands that are available.

SCSI Multi-path Support

Endurance FTvirtual Server Version 6.1 includes full compatibility with many available

industry multipath drivers used for SAN storage devices. Multipath drivers, software packages

that support enhanced access to SAN devices, are typically implemented as filter drivers in the

Windows SCSI I/O driver stack and are loaded on the CoServer. Multipath drivers permit dual

port Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapters to be used to access SAN storage units and provide

multiple pathways through FC switch fabrics. The primary use for multipath configurations is

for additional reliability. However, many multipath drivers also include performance features

that load-balance Fibre Channel I/O over both ports. The application of multipath I/O on

CoServers is particularly effective in supporting increased redundancy if a switch or port fails.

The compatibility list of multipath drivers tested with Endurance FTvirtual Server Version 6.1

is available on the Marathon support web site at http://support.marathontechologies.com. For

additional information regarding multipath configurations, see Configuring the Endurance

FTvirtual Server in the Endurance FTvirtual Server Configuration and Installation Guide.
