Sharing the IBM ESS between a host and the Lenovo Storage V7000

The IBMEnterprise Storage Server (ESS) can be shared between a host and a Lenovo Storage V7000.

The following restrictions apply when you share the IBM ESS between a host and a Lenovo Storage V7000:
  • If an IBM ESS port is in the same zone as a Lenovo Storage V7000 port, that same IBM ESS port should not be in the same zone as another host.
  • A single host can have both IBM ESS direct-attached and Lenovo Storage V7000 virtualized disks configured to it.
  • If a LUN is managed by the Lenovo Storage V7000, it cannot be mapped to another host.
