Switch zoning limitations for Xiotech ISEstorage systems

Limitations exist in switch zoning for Lenovo Storage V7000clustered systems and the Xiotech ISEstorage system.

Fabric zoning

To avoid a single point of failure, the Lenovo Storage V7000 switch zone must include both target ports from each Xiotech ISE controller.

Target port sharing

Target ports can be shared between the Lenovo Storage V7000 system and other hosts.

Host splitting

To avoid the possibility of an interaction between multipathing drivers, a single host cannot be connected to both the Lenovo Storage V7000 system and the Xiotech ISE system.

Controller splitting

Xiotech ISE system logical unit numbers (LUNs) that are mapped to the Lenovo Storage V7000 system cannot be mapped to other hosts. Xiotech ISE system LUNs that are not mapped to the Lenovo Storage V7000 system can be mapped to other hosts.
