Fabric zoning and LUN security

By using appropriate zoning and LUN security, you can connect various servers with

various operating systems to the same switch and fabric:

•

Storage port zones may overlap if more than one operating system needs to

share an array port.

•

Heterogeneous operating systems may share an XP array port if you use Secure

Manager and set the appropriate host group and mode. All others must connect

to a dedicated XP array port.

•

Use Secure Manager for LUN isolation when multiple hosts connect through a

shared array port. Secure Manager provides LUN security by allowing you to

restrict which LUNs each host can access.

•

QLogic and Emulex HBAs must be in separate zones (a QLogic zone and an

Emulex zone) whether the HBAs are in the same or separate servers.

If booting over the SAN, within a server, the booting HBAs must be from the

•

same vendor. Additional data storage HBAs can be from a different vendor.

•

If you plan to use clustering, install and conﬁgure the clustering software on the

servers. Clustering is the organization of multiple servers into groups. Within

a cluster, each server is a node. Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster

environment. The following example shows a multi-cluster environment with three

clusters, each containing two nodes. The nodes share access to the disk array.
