Table 178 Supported MPX200 maximums (continued)

Maximum per MPX200 solution

Description

4,096 per chassis, 1,024 per EVA or XPTotal number of iSCSI LUNs

1,024 per blade, 2,048 per chassisiSCSI connections, 1-GbE

2,048 per blade, 4,096 per chassisiSCSI connections, 10-GbE

For mixed blade type chassis configurations that include one 1-GbE blade and one 10-GbE blade, the maximum values

for a 1-GbE blade prevail.

MPX200 blade configurations

The MPX200 supports the following functions: iSCSI-FCoE, FCIP, Data Migration. For simultaneous

operation, you can configure the MPX200 chassis with a single blade or dual blades to run up to

two functions per blade in the combinations shown in Table 179 (page 337)

• Simultaneous iSCSI and FCoE are considered one function. FCoE is only supported with

10-GbE models.

• When configuring for blade redundancy, you must configure both blades. To add a redundant

blade, you must un-present/re-present existing LUN presentations to gain access through the

second blade.

• Dual-blade iSCSI-FCoE configurations are always configured for high availability.

• Dual-blade FCIP configurations can be configured for separate operation or high availability.

• A license is required for FCIP, half-chassis or full chassis.

• A license is required for data migration, 1TB, 5TB, or 1 Array. FCIP is not required for remote

data migration.

NOTE: For more information on data migration, see Data Migration Services User's Guide.

P6000/EVA storage system rules and guidelines

The MPX200 is supported with the following P6000/EVA storage systems:

• EVA4400/4400 with embedded switch

• EVA4100/6100/8100

• EVA6400/8400

• P6300/P6350/P6500/P6550
