HP MPX200 Multifunction Router - Manual (Page 18)

Software setup
Software setup for DMS includes the following:
•
Zoning: Perform zoning on the FC switches so that array controller ports are visible to the
MPX200, and the array is able to see virtual ports created by MPX200 FC ports and can
present LUNs to the MPX200.
•
LUN presentation: Ensure the appropriate data LUNs are presented from the storage arrays
to the MPX200.
•
Multipathing: For online data migration, ensure that the latest multipathing software is installed
on the host server and that both router blades are using the same firmware version.
High Availability considerations
For HA configurations where multiple FC ports (from one or both blades) of the router are visible
on the source or destination array, ensure that all WWPNs from the same virtual port group across
both blades of the MPX200 are configured under a single host or host group in the array
management software.
For the MPX200 to work correctly, you must set up all WWPNs from the same VPG (across both
blades) as a single host, and you must also project unique LUNs to this host in the storage array.
Set up multiple VPGs as different hosts in the storage array. Do not present the same LUN to multiple
VPGs (hosts associated with the MPX200). Failure to do so can lead to unpredictable and erroneous
behavior. For additional information, see
“VPG” (page 24) .
