switch2 and domain ID 7 must not exist on the fabric containing
switch1.
• To eliminate single points of failure, configure the SAN to use
multipath I/O. See the PolyServe Administration Guide for some sample
matrix configurations that include this feature.
• Disk Power Management must be disabled on any Windows systems
that have access to the SAN storage.
NOTE: You can attach a matrix server to other SANs that are not under
Matrix Server control. These SANs can include tape drives and
non-PSFS filesystems. You can use Linux utilities or other
applications to access these devices and filesystems.
