In order to create and use Storage Groups in Navisphere, the Access LogicTM option must be enabled.
NOTE: Access Logic is a software component of Navisphere® which needs to be installed at the storage system.
Zoning: Zoning controls access between fiber channel devices. Zoning at the switch would determine the group servers that can access a particular storage device.
The typical steps involved in setting up a SAN are:
1Install and setup the CX300, CX500, or CX700 storage device.
2Configure zoning at the switch level.
3Create RAID groups.
4Create and bind LUNs.
NOTE: When creating the LUNs, select Auto Assign to assign the LUN to the storage processor. This is highly recommended for better
load balancing.
5Manually register the servers (hosts) connected to the SAN (see below for step by step instructions).
6Create Storage Groups containing the servers and the LUNs.
For detailed information about setting up the storage device, and creating LUNs, RAID groups, and Storage Groups see the EMC Navisphere Manager: Administrator’s Guide. This document comes with the
Manual Registration of Servers: The steps to manually register a host server using Navisphere Manager are given below:
