HP MPX200 Multifunction Router - Manual (Page 54)

•
Use of HP P6000 Command View, SSSU, or RSM to create snapshots manually or automatically
on a schedule
•
CLI support to enter replication commands from iSCSI hosts
Features not supported for iSCSI hosts
LUNs that are presented to iSCSI hosts through the MPX200, and that require a host agent on the
iSCSI initiator, do not support advanced replication features because there are no iSCSI replication
host agents available. The following features are not supported for iSCSI hosts:
•
Mounting and unmounting LUNs through a host agent, which must be performed manually
•
Accessing the host view of storage (for example, viewing an F drive from a host)
•
Deploying host agents to allow users to launch a script on the iSCSI host
Table 7 (page 54) describes support for P6000 EVA storage system software when using the
MPX200 for iSCSI.

3PAR StoreServ Storage system rules and guidelines
The MPX200 is supported for iSCSI with the following 3PAR storage systems:
•
3PAR StoreServ 10000/7000
•
3PAR F-Class, T-Class
All MPX200 configurations must follow these connectivity rules:
•
When using the MPX200 for iSCSI, MPX200 FC connections can be fabric-attached through
an FC switch or direct-connect to a 3PAR FC port.
•
Multiple MPX200 chassis can be connected to a single 3PAR array. However, HP recommends
that array FC ports are not shared between different chassis.
•
HP recommends a maximum of eight 3PAR array ports be connected to a single MPX200
chassis.
•
A maximum of one MPX200 chassis (two blades) can be zoned with up to four 3PAR storage
systems.
•
3PAR, XP and P6000 EVA storage systems can connect to the same MPX200. The total
allowable number of storage systems is four per MPX200 chassis.
•
A 3PAR storage system can present LUNs to iSCSI initiators and FC hosts concurrently.
XP storage system rules and guidelines
The MPX200 is supported for iSCSI with the following XP storage systems:
•
XP24000
•
XP20000
