Sharing the HP MA or EMA between a host and a Storwize V3700

Restrictions apply when HP MA and EMA storage systems are shared between a host and the Storwize® V3700 clustered system.

An HP MA or EMA can be shared between a host and the Storwize V3700 system under the following conditions:
  • A host cannot be connected to both the Storwize V3700 system and an HP MA or EMA storage system at the same time.
  • Target ports cannot be shared between a host and the Storwize V3700 system. Specifically, if an HSG80 port is in use by the Storwize V3700 system, it cannot be present in a switch zone that enables a host to access the port.
  • LUs and arrays cannot be shared between a host and the Storwize V3700 system.
