Configuring a multi-path Crypto LUN

Multi-path LUN configuration example

Figure 89 on page 180 shows a single LUN on a dual-port target that is accessed over two paths by

a dual-port host. The two encryption switches form an encryption group and an HA cluster. The

following example illustrates a simplified version of a multi-path LUN configuration.

FIGURE 89 A LUN accessible through multiple paths

The following steps may be used to configure multiple path access to the LUN in Figure 89.

1. Create zoning between host port 1 and target port 1. Refer to the section “Creating an initiator

- target zone” on page 162 for instructions.

2. Create zoning between host port 2 and target port 2. Refer to the section “Creating an initiator

- target zone” on page 162 for instructions.

3. On the group leader encryption switch (switch 1), create a CryptoTarget container for each

target port and add the hosts in sequence. Do NOT commit the configuration until you have

created all CryptoTarget containers and added all hosts to the respective containers.

a. Log in as Admin or FabricAdmin.

b. Create a CryptoTarget container (CTC1) for target port 1 to be hosted on the encryption

engine of encryption switch 1. Refer to the section “Creating a CryptoTarget container” on

page 167 for instructions on steps b. through e.
