Zoning
These zoning rules apply to a heterogeneous SAN with MSA1000 storage systems:
• Zoning is required for all operating systems that access an MSA1000. See
“
Heterogeneous server rules ” on page 185.
• An MSA1000 storage system can be in multiple operating system zones.
For configurations that support common server access to multiple storage system types, see
“
Common server access ” on page 232.
Maximums
Table 126 lists maximum configurations for the MSA1000.

For the supported operating system versions, see “ Heterogeneous server rules ” on page 185.
Contact an HP storage representative for a configuration review to determine support for configurations
that exceed the stated limits.
Tape storage
The following rules apply to tape storage support in a SAN with MSA1000 storage systems:
• Overlapping zones are supported with disk and tape.
• Separate or common HBAs for disk and tape connections are supported.
• For a VLS, multiple heterogeneous initiators and multiple ports of the VLS device are supported in
the same fabric zone.
• HP recommends using a separate tape-to-HBA connection for servers with backups that require
more than four DLT8000 tape drives or two Ultrium (LTO) tape drives.
For more information about tape storage support, contact your HP representative.
