Fibre Channel switch-based zoning

Each FC port on the MPX200 uses NPIV to create a total of four unique, virtual WWNNs per
physical FC port. To create proper zoning, you must understand the use of VPGs. A VPG consists
of a WWNN from each of the four physical FC ports. This allows presentation for up to 1,024
LUNs from a single P6000 EVA or XP array.

Place an array target port in the same zone as one of the VPG ports (see

“EVA Fibre Channel

zone configuration” (page 32)

). This ensures a single path to the FC port on the router blade and

gives you more control of load balancing through the router.

HP P6000 Command View discovery

When the management port IP address is set and the router FC ports are visible to the P6000 EVA,
you can perform the MPX200 discovery. You discover the MPX200 iSCSI controllers using the
Discover iSCSI Devices button or the Add iSCSI Device button (see

Figure 20 (page 33)

).
