Switch zoning configurations for the RamSan® system include considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting, and controller splitting.
To enable multipathing, ensure that you have multiple zones or multiple RamSan® and Lenovo Storage V series ports for each zone when you are zoning a RamSan® system to the Lenovo Storage V series back-end ports.
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.
There are no issues with host splitting on a RamSan® system.
RamSan® system LUNs that are mapped to the Lenovo Storage V series clustered system cannot be mapped to other hosts. LUNs that are not presented to the Lenovo Storage V series can be mapped to other hosts.
