Sharing the IBM ESS between a host and the IBM Spectrum Virtualize
The IBM® Enterprise Storage Server® (ESS) can be shared between a host and a IBM Spectrum Virtualize™.
The following restrictions apply when
you share the IBM ESS between
a host and a IBM Spectrum Virtualize:
- If an IBM ESS port is in the same zone as a IBM Spectrum Virtualize port, that same IBM ESS port should not be in the same zone as another host.
- A single host can have both IBM ESS direct-attached and IBM Spectrum Virtualize virtualized disks that are configured to it.
- If a LUN is managed by the IBM Spectrum Virtualize, it cannot be mapped to another host.
