Connect one Server to two Storage Groups
Hi !
I know ther already have been some discussions here but they did not help me.
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Backup Server which one is connected via FC to our VNX5300 and it is working fine.
Now we had to setup a second Storage Group (because of some reasons).
I'd like to backup LUNs in both Storage Groups with the single Backup Server. Is there a way to give it access to all LUNs which are located in the two different Storage Groups ?
It would be okay for me, if I could divide the four initiatiors into groups with two. So I could create two hosts with two initiators for each. Is that possible ? And how do I have to set this up ?
Regards Wolfgang

You should be able to force a relogin from the SAn by toggling the switch port or deactivating the zone and re-enabling it. The WWNS should come back in. This is common when deregistering.

Worst case scenario leave for the day they should show up by tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.
The solution is very embarrassing. 
Somebody changed at the same time the ports on the server. So the zoning did not match the WWNs and so the connection was not possible any more.
