Symmetrix/Fabric case study

Installing and Configuring the HBA and Driver
As shown in the previous figure and table, the recommended zoning
is HBA-based zoning using the WWPN of the HBA and the
Symmetrix. HBA-based zoning includes only one HBA port and
single/multiple target ports per zone.
Note: For further information on zoning, refer to the EMC Connectrix
Enterprise Network System Planning Guide.
Volume Logix requires an available Symmetrix device as the
gatekeeper for administration on a particular host. Any of the hosts in
the example may contain a gatekeeper, which must be assigned in
/kernel/drv/sd.conf. Any of the devices defined in the gatekeeper
must be mapped to the certain LUN number associated with the
Symmetrix port; for example, device 0x80 LUN 0 of FA 3A.
Note: For further information on Volume Logix, refer to the Volume Logix
Product Guide.
The switch zoning must coincide with Volume Logix mapping to
allow probing any Symmetrix devices. Such planning as that shown
in the table can help present a complete picture before setting up the
persistent binding.
