Table 3-1
Best practices for zoning the SAN on NetBackup appliances
(continued)
DescriptionGuideline
To ensure the availability of system connections,
if you incorporate a multi-path approach to common
resources, pair ports on separate cards for like
zoning. This configuration helps you avoid the loss
of all paths to a resource in the event of a card
failure.
For fault tolerance, spread connectivity
across HBA cards and not ports.
It is recommended that you perform SAN zoning
based on WWN. If switch port configurations or
cabling architectures need to change, the zoning
does not have to be recreated.
Zone the SAN based on WWN to
facilitate zone migrations, if devices
change ports.
Table 3-2 describes the zones you should use for your SAN traffic.
Diagrams that show the zones are available at the following link.
See “About Fibre Transport paths for NetBackup appliances” on page 27.
Note: You must use physical port ID or World Wide Port Name (WWPN) when you
specify the HBA ports on NetBackup appliances.
See “How to determine appliance HBA WWPNs” on page 51.
