HP 3Gb SAS Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class - Manual (Page 7)

Zoning requirements and device mappings
IMPORTANT: Depending on the BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model, server type, mezzanine slot used,
BladeSystem server device bay, and BladeSystem interconnect bay, the zone groups that assigned to a
server must be associated with storage enclosures connected to switch ports 1–4 or 5–8. Failure to follow
these guidelines will result in an unsupported configuration.
The following tables show the interdependencies of components in an HP BladeSystem c-Class solution that
includes an HP StorageWorks 3Gb SAS BL Switch connected to external SAS storage enclosures.
For the c3000 BladeSystem enclosure, use the following table to determine which external storage enclosures
to use when zoning the external storage to the server blades.
For example, as shown in the table, if a full-height server blade is installed in device bay 1-8 of a c3000
enclosure, and the P700m SAS Controller is installed in server mezzanine slot 2; the 3Gb SAS BL Switch
must be installed in BladeSystem interconnect bay 3 or 4 and it should be assigned a zone group that is in
an external storage enclosure attached to 3Gb SAS BL Switch ports 1, 2, 3, or 4.
