Sharing an IBM DS5000, IBM DS4000, or IBM DS3000 systems between a host and Lenovo Storage V7000

You can share an IBM® DS5000, IBM DS4000®, or IBM DS3000 system between a host and a Lenovo Storage V7000clustered system.

The IBM DS5000, IBM DS4000, and IBM DS3000 function known as partitioning must be used to separate groups of logical units that are directly attached to hosts or groups of hosts from the logical units that are accessed by the Lenovo Storage V7000 system.
Note: The Lenovo Storage V7000 partition must either contain all the host ports of the Lenovo Storage V7000 system that are connected to the SAN or are zoned to have access to the storage system ports. For example, configure so that each Lenovo Storage V7000 host bus adapter (HBA) port on Lenovo Storage V7000 will be able to see at least one port on storage system A and one port on storage system B.
