Sharing the HDS Thunder, HDS TagmaStore AMS, or HDS TagmaStore WMS between a host and the SAN Volume Controller

You can share the HDS Thunder, HDS TagmaStore Adaptable Modular Storage (AMS), and HDS TagmaStore Workgroup Modular Storage (WMS) systems between a host and a SAN Volume Controller cluster, with certain restrictions.

The following restrictions apply:
  • The same host cannot be connected to both a SAN Volume Controller cluster and an HDS Thunder, HDS TagmaStore AMS, or HDS TagmaStore WMS at the same time because Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager (HDLM) and the subsystem device driver (SDD) cannot coexist.
  • For the HDS Thunder 9200, a target port cannot be shared between a host and a SAN Volume Controller cluster. If a target port is used by a SAN Volume Controller cluster, it cannot be present in a switch zone that allows a host to access the port.
  • Logical units (LUs) cannot be shared between a host and a SAN Volume Controller cluster. The Thunder 9200 must be set into M-TID M-LUN mode and Mapping Mode must be enabled on Thunder 95xx. No LU can have a LUN number that is associated with a port that is zoned for host use while also having a LUN number that is associated with a port that is zoned for a SAN Volume Controller cluster.
