Sharing the IBM ESS between a host and the SAN Volume Controller

The IBM® Enterprise Storage Server® (ESS) can be shared between a host and a SAN Volume Controller.

The following restrictions apply when you share the IBM ESS between a host and a SAN Volume Controller:
  • If an IBM ESS port is in the same zone as a SAN Volume Controller port, that same IBM ESS port should not be in the same zone as another host.
  • A single host can have both IBM ESS direct-attached and SAN Volume Controller virtualized disks configured to it.
  • If a LUN is managed by the SAN Volume Controller, it cannot be mapped to another host.

See the following Web site for the latest supported configurations:
