multi-cluster environment with three clusters, each containing two nodes. The nodes share access
to the disk array.
Figure 1 1 Multi-cluster environment (Solaris)
Within the SAN, the clusters can be homogeneous (all the same operating system) or heterogeneous
(mixed operating systems). How you configure LUN security and fabric zoning depends on the
operating system mix and the SAN configuration.

Fabric Zoning and LUN security for multiple operating systems

HP LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP and XP Array Manager for the XP24000/XP20000
disk array offer the ability to limit access to a given host to a specific host/WWN.
Security must be enabled for LUN isolation when multiple hosts connect through a shared
array port. See the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide
go/sandesign) for fabric zoning and LUN security configuration rules.

Connecting the disk array

The HP service representative performs the following steps to connect the disk array to the host:
1. Verifying operational status of the disk array channel adapters, LDEVs, and paths.
2. Connecting the Fibre Channel cables between the disk array and the fabric switch or host.
3. Verifying the ready status of the disk array and peripherals.

Adding the new device paths to the system

After configuring the FCAs and to ensure the new devices are recognized, some FCA drivers
require you to configure each LUN individually (either through the driver configuration file or in
/kernel/drv/sd.conf).
CAUTION:
configuration file, add the new paths at the end of the file. (This ensures that the system boot entries
higher up in the file will execute first.)
Pre-configure additional LUNs (not yet made available) to avoid unnecessary reboots. See
and configuring the FCAs" (page 91)
To ensure that the system can boot properly even if you make a mistake in the driver
for individual driver requirements.
