Controlling access to storage systems and devices

When devices in a storage system are accessed through a general purpose SAN, a mechanism is needed to ensure that the devices are accessed only by Lenovo Storage V7000.

Use one of the following techniques to control the access to the storage systems and devices:

Logical units (LUs) or managed disks (MDisks) should be made accessible to all ports on all the Lenovo Storage V7000 nodes for a clustered system.

Attention: Lenovo Storage V7000 does not take any action to prevent two systems from accessing the same MDisks. If two systems are configured so that they can detect the same MDisks, data corruption is likely to occur.
