General configuration components
All configurations require the following components:
• Enterprise VCS software
• HBAs
• Fibre Channel switches
Connecting a single path HBA server to a switch in a fabric zone
Each host must attach to one switch (fabric) using standard Fibre Channel cables. Each host has its
single path HBA connected through switches on a SAN to one port of an EVA.
Because a single path HBA server has no software to manage the connection and ensure that only
one controller port is visible to the HBA, the fabric containing the single path HBA server, SAN switch,
and EVA controller must be zoned. Configuring the single path by switch zoning and the LUNs by
Selective Storage Presentation (SSP) allows for multiple single path HBAs to reside in the same server.
A single path HBA server with OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX operating system should be zoned with two
EVA controllers. See the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide at the following HP website
for additional information about zoning:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html
To connect a single path HBA server to a SAN switch:
1. Plug one end of the Fibre Channel cable into the HBA on the server.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the switch.
Figure 30 and Figure 31 represent configurations containing both single path HBA server and dual
HBA server, as well as a SAN appliance, connected to redundant SAN switches and EVA controllers.
Whereas the dual HBA server has multi-path software that manages the two HBAs and their connections
to the switch (with the exception of OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX servers), the single path HBA has no
software to perform this function. The dashed line in the figure represents the fabric zone that must
be established for the single path HBA server. Note that in
Figure 31 , servers with OpenVMS or Tru64
UNIX operating system should be zoned with two controllers.
