Zoning in presented targets: Method 2

Source array: active-active

Single server configuration: noncluster

Use this method when dealing with arrays that support active-active configuration, where LUNs
are accessible simultaneously through both controllers. Such LUNs have paths that are either
active-optimized or active-unoptimized. Most 4 Gb FC arrays support such configurations, as do
2 Gb FC arrays from the EMC Symmetrix family, HP XP family, and Hitachi Data Systems USP and
9900 families.

Mapping LUNs to initiators

HP mpx Manager provides the Target Presentation/LUN Mapping Wizard to map FC and iSCSI
initiators to LUNs for online data migration. This mapping provides the access for the LUN to the
host from the router through a presented virtual target. Mapping is required as a part of the process
of inserting the router in the host I/O path. You must ensure that the entire host I/O is routed by
the router, and that there is no direct access to any source controller ports from the host during
migration.

NOTE:

LUN mapping is required only for online data migration for FC and iSCSI initiators. LUN
mapping is not required for offline data migration.

For HP-UX initiators, set the host type to HP-UX in the MPX200. For all other initiators, leave
the host type set to Windows, the default.

For arrays that have a dedicated controller LUN (for example, LUN-0 on HP EVA arrays),
ensure that LUN-0 is also presented to the FC initiators hosts with the actual data LUNs.

To map an initiator to a LUN:
1.

On the Wizards menu, click LUN Presentation Wizard to open the Target Presentation/LUN
Mapping Wizard.

2.

The LUN Presentation Type window prompts you to select a presentation type. Select one of
the following options, and then click Next.

LUN Presentation

LUN Remap

3.

On the Select the Initiators for LUN Presentation window, select an initiator, and then click
Next.
