Preparing Your Systems for Clustering
Table 3-1 provides a list of WWN identifiers that you can find in the
Dell|EMC cluster environment.
NOTICE:
When you replace a switch module, a storage controller, or a Fibre
Channel HBA in a PowerEdge server, reconfigure your zones to provide continuous
client data access.
Single Initiator Zoning
Each host HBA port in a SAN must be configured in a separate zone on the
switch with the appropriate storage ports. This zoning configuration, known
as single initiator zoning, prevents different hosts from communicating with
each other, thereby ensuring that Fibre Channel communications between
the HBAs and their target storage systems do not affect each other.
When you create your single-initiator zones, follow these guidelines:
• Create a zone for each HBA port and its target storage devices.
• Each AX4-5 storage processor port can be connected to a maximum of 64
HBA ports in a SAN-attached environment.
