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 V7000 ports for each zone when you are zoning a RamSan system to the Lenovo Storage V7000 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 V7000clustered system cannot be mapped to other hosts. LUNs that are not presented to the Lenovo Storage V7000 can be mapped to other hosts.
