Creating Zones For The Switches; Zones For Front-End Switches - HP Open View Installation And Maintenance Manual

Connecting the Appliance to Hosts and Storage Arrays

Creating zones for the switches

This section describes a configuration in which two switches connect to the front end of the
appliance and two switches connect to the back end of the appliance, enabling failover and
recovery (See
on the front end and multiple storage connections on the back end.
This section describes the following topics:

Zones for front-end switches

Create zones that have one host initiator and one appliance target. The six appliance targets
connect to the first six ports on the switch (0–5). For each host initiator connected to the switch
(ports 6 and 7 on the switch), create six zones—one for each appliance target
Figure
Table 6
The appliance target use six ports on the switch; you can use the remaining 10 ports for host
connections. You can connect a maximum of 10 hosts to a non–cascaded 16–port switch,
creating 60 host zones (six targets multiplied by 10 hosts).
