iSCSI SR2122 Storage Router: Getting Started Guide

Storage Array Rules

The HSG80 is supported in both SCSI-3 Transparent Failover Mode and Multibus
Failover Mode.

Without HP Secure Path the Enterprise Virtual Array is supported with the SR2122
accessing only one EVA controller port. This will disable controller failover protection.

The MSA1000 is supported with the SR2122 accessing only one MSA controller port.
This will disable controller failover protection.

The SR2122 fibre channel ports appear as host bus adapters to the FC switches and to all
storage arrays.

Read “HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide” for the latest HP storage rules.

Fibre Channel Switch/Fabric Rules

The SR2122 is supported on the B-Series SAN switches, M-Series SAN switches, and
C-Series SAN switches. Read “HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide ” for the
latest switch topologies and fabric rules.

The SR2122 should only be zoned with the storage devices that it will access. Zoning the
SR2122 with other servers is not supported.

Management Software Rules

HP OpenView Storage Area Manager (SAM) support is limited to property support only.
It will identify the device, and by clicking on it, one can launch the device embedded web
server interface or telnet. A device specific plug-in for the SR2122 is available on the
SAM Website.

CIM 7 Supports the SR2122’s SNMP management capabilities.

Management of the storage arrays through the SR2122 is not supported. Please use the
recommended application/element manager to configure the storage array.
