3Gb SAS BL Switch Zoning Requirements

The following tables show the interdependencies of components in an HP BladeSystem c-Class solution

that includes an HP StorageWorks 3Gb SAS BL Switch connected to external SAS storage enclosures.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in an unsupported configuration.

For the c3000 BladeSystem enclosure, use the following table to determine which external storage

enclosures to use when zoning the external storage to the server blades. For example, as shown in

the table, if a full-height server blade is installed in device bay 1-8 of a c3000 enclosure, and the

P700m SAS Controller is installed in server mezzanine slot 2; the 3Gb SAS BL Switch must be installed

in BladeSystem interconnect bay 3 or 4 and it should be assigned a zone group that is in an external

storage enclosure attached to 3Gb SAS BL Switch ports 1, 2, 3, or 4.
