Figure 2-3. Local SAN Island Connectivity
To map either an iSCSI Server to a FC Device (Target) or a FC server to an iSCSI
Device (Target) or FC Server from one SAN to FC target on another SAN, follow
these steps:
1. Use SANsurfer Map Local Initiator/Target wizard (see appendix 7.6.4) or the
CLI “localmap add” command (see appendix A.15) .
CAUTION! When adding multiple routers in the same physical SAN, you must
import a given FC device from a remote SAN on only one SANbox
6142 in the local physical SAN. If the same FC device is imported from
multiple SANbox 6142s into the same physical SAN, it results in
duplicate FC world wide port names (WWPN) and may cause
disruption in the SAN.
