Hyper-V Dell MD3200 Cluster (SAS)

Hi,

I am trying to set up a cluster using an MD3200 (Not the MD3200i). I have been following the directions as per http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pvaul/en/powervault-md3200-series-hyper-v-implementation.pdf I have the cables set up for full failover.

What my issue is when creating the Host Configuration in the storage manager I need to define a host, however I can not find the host port identifier, it states to look in the BIOS so I restart (Dell R710) press CTRL C to go to SAS configuration and look at the SAS Address however it does not match as per the attached screenshots.

I think I may be looking in the wrong area..

Thank you
Shawn

Turns out I am looking at the internal raid controller.

I am unable to find this information from the PERC H800 screen as well, was hoping not to have to drive to the site.

Thank you,

I think that is exactly what I will do until I can get on site to confirm.

Turns out what had happened is the Server had Perc H800 HBA's rather than External SAS HBA's which is what I needed as the DAS has RAID built in to it. Sent back the wrong HBA's added the new ones and everything was great.
