FSPM and Hyper-V

Oracle FS Path Manager (FSPM) supports Hyper-V on Windows Server platforms.

You can install FSPM on a Windows Server host configured as a Hyper-V parent that is multi-pathed to Oracle FS System. LUNs that are mapped to the Hyper-V parent host are accessed by the guest operating systems in the same way as other disks. For example, the LUNs can hold Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) files, which can be exposed to the guests, or the guests can access these LUNs as pass-through disks.

Guest operating systems can also use iSCSI software initiators to connect to Oracle FS System and access LUNs. In this example, FSPM maps the LUNs directly to the guest operating system. If the guest operating system has a version of FSPM that supports iSCSI, this version of FSPM can be installed on the guest and used to manage multiple iSCSI paths to the Oracle FS System LUNs in the same way as FSPM would be used on a physical host.

Note: FSPM does not support the use of Hyper-V Virtual Fibre Channel in guest operating systems.

Refer to Microsoft Hyper-V (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/virtualization/default.aspx) documentation for more information on using disks with Hyper-V.
