Switch zoning for RamSanstorage systems

Switch zoning configurations for the RamSan system include considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting, and controller splitting.

Fabric zoning

To enable multipathing, ensure that you have multiple zones or multiple RamSan and system ports for each zone when you are zoning a RamSan system to the back-end ports on the system.

Target port sharing

The RamSan system can support LUN masking to enable multiple servers to access separate LUNs through a common controller port. There are no issues with mixing workloads or server types in this setup. LUN Masking is a licensed feature of the RamSan system.

Host splitting

There are no issues with host splitting on a RamSan system.

Controller splitting

RamSan system LUNs that are mapped to the system cannot be mapped to other hosts. LUNs that are not presented to the system can be mapped to other hosts.
