HP Direct-Connect External SAS Storage for HP BladeSystem Solutions Depoyment Guide
Zoning requirements and device mappings
Tables in this section show the device mappings and subsequent zoning requirements of solution
devices:
• BladeSystem c-Class enclosure model
• Server type (half height, full height, half height double density, and full height double wide)
• Mezzanine slot (P700m location)
• BladeSystem c-Class enclosure server device bay (server blade location)
• BladeSystem c-Class enclosure interconnect bay (switch blade location)
• 3Gb SAS BL Switch port to which the external SAS storage enclosure that contains the zone
group is connected (switch port)
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow these guidelines will result in an unsupported configuration.
For example, as shown in the table, if a full-height server blade is installed in device bay 1-8 of a
c3000 enclosure, and the P700m Controller is installed in server mezzanine slot 2, the switch must
be installed in BladeSystem interconnect bay 3/4 and it should be assigned a zone group that is
in an external storage enclosure attached to switch ports 1, 2, 3, or 4.
