Rule Violation Fix — If the policy monitor report shows a violation, the Administrator can add a
host connection to additional fabrics.
• Check for connections through two fabrics to each target LUN — This host policy monitor
enables you to determine if there are redundant connections between the host group and the
target LUN.
To prevent a single point of failure, the host should have a redundant connection to the target
LUN. Available hosts include both automatic hosts and manual hosts. An automatic host is a
host discovered through Host adapter discovery or VM Manager discovery. A manual host is a
host enclosure manually created through host port mapping in the fabric topology.
Depending on how you discover the hosts, there are recommended configurations you should
complete to avoid inaccuracy:
- Host adapter discovery (refer to “Host discovery” on page 103)
Make sure there are Brocade HBAs (with a 2.1 or later driver) on the host.
- Fabric plus Host discovery (refer to “Discovery” on page 41)
Make sure there are Brocade HBAs on the host connected to the fabric.
Make sure to configure the host port mapping (refer to “Host port mapping overview” on
page 707).
- Fabric plus VM Manager discovery (refer to “Discovery” on page 41)
Make sure there are Brocade HBAs (with a 2.1 or later driver) on the host connected to the
fabric.
- VM Manager plus Host discovery (refer to “VM Manager discovery” on page 113)
