Switch zoning limitations for Pillar Axiom systems
Switch zoning has limitations for SAN Volume Controller clustered systems and Pillar Axiom systems.
Fabric zoning
The SAN Volume Controller switch zone must include at least one target port from each Pillar Axiom controller to avoid a single point of failure.
Target port sharing
Target ports can be shared between the SAN Volume Controller system and other hosts.
Host splitting
A single host cannot be connected to both the SAN Volume Controller system and the Pillar Axiom system to avoid the possibility of an interaction between multipathing drivers.
Controller splitting
Pillar Axiom system LUNs that are mapped to the SAN Volume Controller system cannot be mapped to other hosts. Pillar Axiom system LUNs that are not mapped to the SAN Volume Controller system can be mapped to other hosts.
