Switch zoning limitations for Pillar Axiom systems

There are limitations in switch zoning for Lenovo Storage V series clustered systems and Pillar Axiom systems.

Fabric zoning

The Lenovo Storage V series switch zone must include at least one target port from each Pillar Axiom controller to avoid a single point of failure.

Target port sharing

Target ports can be shared between the Lenovo Storage V series system and other hosts.

Host splitting

A single host cannot be connected to both the Lenovo Storage V series system and the Pillar Axiom system to avoid the possibility of an interaction between multipathing drivers.

Controller splitting

Pillar Axiom system LUNs that are mapped to the Lenovo Storage V series system cannot be mapped to other hosts. Pillar Axiom system LUNs that are not mapped to the Lenovo Storage V series system can be mapped to other hosts.
