HP P2000 Installation Instructions

Consider the following when cabling HP P2000 G3 MSA
Systems:
• P2000 G3 FC/iSCSI MSA System LUNs may be
presented through either the iSCSI or FC host ports;
presenting the same LUN through both protocols is
not supported.
• P2000 G3 MSA System Fibre Channel and iSCSI
controller ports can both be used for connecting to
hosts as well as for replication purposes.
• P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA Systems must connect
to 10GbE-enabled devices (server, switch, or
interconnect).
Direct-connect configurations
For direct-connect configurations, connect cables from the
P2000 G3 MSA controller to the host as shown in the
following illustrations.
Any number or combination of LUNs can be shared
among a maximum of 64 host ports, as long as the total
adds up to no more than 512 LUNs per P2000 G3 MSA
System.
Consider the following about images in this section:
• These figures show examples of simple, common
cabling configurations. Other cabling configurations
exist.
• These figures show generic representations of servers.
