February 3, 2003 EMC CLARiiON Open Systems Configuration Guide ATF or CDE All except CX200, CX400, and CX600. Number of HBA Ports If the server has multiple HBAs connected to the same storage system, and has - Only one path connected to each SP: PowerPath, PowerPath Base, DMP with CLR-AS, or ATF is supported. - Multiple paths connected to each SP: PowerPath, DMP with CLR-ASL, or multi-path ATF is supported. (Only ATF for Windows 2000 and Windows NT has multipath support.) If a server has a single HBA connected to the storage system, and has - Only one path connected to each SP: PowerPath, PowerPath Base, Utility Kit PowerPath, DMP with CLR-ASL, ATF, or CDE is supported. - Multiple paths connected to each SP: PowerPath, DMP with CLR-ASL, or ATF is supported. If the server is part of a split-bus configuration, none of the following are supported: PowerPath, PowerPath Base, Utility Kit PowerPath, DMP with CLR-ASL, ATF, or CDE. HBA-Port Types HBA ports from the same HBA vendor and with the same server bus type are required for each path to a storage system. For example, on a Solaris server you can connect either Emulex PCI or SBus HBA ports, but not both types, to the same storage system. Non-Disruptive Software Installation (NDU) Configuration Rules Supported Servers Servers - All but Linux without PowerPath Base, PowerPath or Utility Kit PowerPath. Supported Storage Systems CX200, CX400, CX600, and FC4700. Supported Configurations Any with PowerPath, PowerPath Base, Utility Kit PowerPath, ATF, CDE, HP-UX PVLinks, IRIX native failover (requires that IRIX volume manager, xlv, manage all LUNs, or Tru64 UNIX native failover. Access Logix Configuration Rules Supported Storage Systems CX200, FC4500, and FC53001 Access Logix required in all SAN configurations. Access Logix is not allowed in any direct-attach configuration or with hub connections. CX400, CX600, and FC4700 Access Logix is required for • Multiple direct-attached independent servers (not split-bus) • Multiple independent servers or clusters in all SAN configurations • SnapView and MirrorView • More than 256 LUNs for CX400 or CX600. Note that an FC4700 supports a maximum of 223 LUNs. Note that this limits the maximum number of LUNs that a single server can access to 256 on a CX400 or CX600 and to 223 on an FC4700. This number may be lower depending on the operating system running on the server; see the CLARiiON Open Systems Support, Fibre Connectivity table in the EMC Support Matrix (ESM) for details. 1.

ATF or CDE
All except CX200, CX400, and CX600.
Number of HBA Ports
If the server has
multiple
HBAs connected to the same storage system, and has
- Only one path connected to each SP: PowerPath, PowerPath Base, DMP with CLR-AS, or ATF is supported.
- Multiple paths connected to each SP: PowerPath, DMP with CLR-ASL, or multi-path ATF is supported.
(Only ATF for Windows 2000 and Windows NT has multipath support.)
If a server has a
single
HBA connected to the storage system, and has
- Only one path connected to each SP: PowerPath, PowerPath Base, Utility Kit PowerPath, DMP with CLR-ASL,
ATF, or CDE is supported.
- Multiple paths connected to each SP: PowerPath, DMP with
CLR-ASL, or ATF is supported.
If the server is part of a split-bus configuration,
none
of the following are supported: PowerPath, PowerPath Base,
Utility Kit PowerPath, DMP with CLR-ASL, ATF, or CDE.
HBA-Port Types
HBA ports from the same HBA vendor and with the same server bus type are required for each path to a storage
system. For example, on a Solaris server you can connect either Emulex PCI or SBus HBA ports, but not both types,
to the same storage system.
Non-Disruptive Software Installation (NDU) Configuration Rules
Supported Servers
Servers - All
but Linux without PowerPath Base, PowerPath or Utility Kit PowerPath.
Supported Storage Systems
CX200, CX400, CX600, and FC4700.
Supported Configurations
Any with PowerPath, PowerPath Base, Utility Kit PowerPath, ATF, CDE, HP-UX PVLinks, IRIX native failover
(requires that IRIX volume manager,
xlv
, manage all LUNs, or Tru64 UNIX native failover.
Access Logix Configuration Rules
Supported Storage Systems
CX200, FC4500, and FC5300
1
Access Logix required in all SAN configurations.
Access Logix is
not
allowed in any direct-attach configuration or with hub connections.
CX400, CX600, and FC4700
Access Logix is required for
•
Multiple direct-attached independent servers (not split-bus)
•
Multiple independent servers or clusters in all SAN configurations
•
SnapView and MirrorView
•
More than 256 LUNs for CX400 or CX600. Note that an FC4700 supports a maximum of 223 LUNs. Note that
this limits the maximum number of LUNs that a single server can access to 256 on a CX400 or CX600 and to
223 on an FC4700. This number may be lower depending on the operating system running on the server; see
the
CLARiiON Open Systems Support, Fibre Connectivity
table in the
EMC Support Matrix
(ESM) for details.
