IMPORTANT 3Gb SAS BL Switch Zoning Requirements

ManualsBrandsHP ManualsStorageHP 3Gb SAS Switch Single Pack for HP BladeSystem c-Class

For the c7000 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 c7000 enclosure, and the

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

BladeSystem interconnect bay 5, 6, 7, or 8 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.
