Switch zoning configurations for the MSA2000 system include considerations for fabric zoning, target port sharing, host splitting, and controller splitting.
Each Storwize V5000 switch zone must include at least one target port from each controller to have no single point of failure. This configuration means, for example, that the zone on the first fabric has Port 0 MSA Controller A with Port 1 of MSA Controller B and the Storwize V5000 ports. The zone on the second fabric has Port 0 MSA Controller B and Port 1 MSA Controller A and the Storwize V5000 ports. For more information about the Fibre Channel dual-fabric setup, see the relevant MSA documentation.
Target ports cannot be shared between Storwize V5000 and other hosts.
A single host must not be connected to Storwize V5000 and an MSA2000 system simultaneously.
MSA2000 system LUNs must be mapped only to the Storwize V5000clustered system. The four target ports are all required for dual SAN-fabric connections and cannot be shared.
