Figure 4. Fibre/iSCSI Channel Multi-path Configuration

Switch Zoning Requirements

Switches used in a fibre-channel and iSCSI configuration must employ zoning. These switch zoning requirements must

be observed:

• Each host bus adapter (HBA) on the host server must connect to a separate switch zone; no more than one HBA may

be connected to one logical switch zone.

• Port 3 on each of the MD storage array controller is reserved for Remote Replication. This is required for fibre-

channel only. iSCSI does not require any dedicated port.

• For fibre-channel, a separate zone must be created for each Remote Replication port.

• No more than four data paths (port-to-port segments) can be established from a single, physical host server to a

single RAID controller.
