Zoning
FC and FCoE
iSCSI
Introduction
This section contains general configuration guidelines when connecting a Linux server via Fibre Channel or iSCSI to an EMC storage array.
Note:
When using Linux hosts in a fabric environment, the zoning must be set up as single initiator and single target zoning. A single initiator/single target zone is composed of one adapter and one EMC storage array port. Storage array ports can be shared among adapters; however, each adapter must be in its own zone.
Note:
Follow the guidelines outlined by EMC. Be aware that using improper settings may cause erratic behavior. In particular, note the following:
◆Each QLogic iSCSI HBA in a Linux server must be on a separate subnet.
◆A single host can not mix HBAs and NICs to connect to the same array or different arrays.
◆A single host may not attach to an EMC Fibre Channel Array and an EMC iSCSI Array simultaneously.
◆QLogic SANsurfer or iscli are required to be installed in order to configure iSCSI HBAs to connect to iSCSI targets
