Setting Up Fabric Zoning And Lun Security For Multiple Operating Systems - HP XP1024 System Configuration Manual

Setting up fabric zoning and LUN security for multiple operating
systems
You can connect multiple clusters of various operating systems to the same switch and
fabric using appropriate zoning and LUN security as follows:
• Storage port zones may overlap if more than one operating system needs to
share an array port.
• Heterogeneous operating systems may share an XP array port if you use Secure
Manager and set the appropriate host group and mode. All others must connect
to a dedicated XP array port.
• Use Secure Manager for LUN isolation when multiple hosts connect through a
shared array port. Secure Manager provides LUN security by allowing you to
restrict which LUNs each host can access.
