EMC SANCopy/F from HP-XP2400 Storage Array to VNX5400 Unified
Good afternoon gents,
Today, I am having trouble with creating successful EMC SANCopy/F sessions from HP-XP24000 to VNX5400 Unified.
I am open to any suggestions.
I have....
- Zoned HP-XP24k initiators to VNX initiators
- 4 zones
- Brocade Fabric A
- ppvnx01_spa_p1_xp24k__7b
- ppvnx01_spb_p2_xp24k__7b
- Brocade Fabric B
- ppvnx01_spb_p1_xp24k__8b
- ppvnx01_spa_p2_xp24k_8b
- Brocade Fabric A
- 4 zones
- Zoned VNX as a host to HP-XP24k
- Added additional initiators to production MS Cluster arrays to HP-XP-24K FA groups (7B, 7A)
- Trespassed my LUNs to test to see if there is a connection
- SanCopy/F sessions could not see either SPA or SPB paths
- Executed command: xpinfo on HP24K array
- Output:

on the HP array, did you see VNX SPs login as initiators and then you "masked" them to the LUNs that need to be copied to VNX ?

Thanks dynamox for your reply,
It turns out that it is a host issue. If your host cluster is in locked state, not another host nor storage array can communicate to the cluster. I will need to have it offline and cluster service unlocked during window outage. We tested a test lun that is not part of the FA adapter associated with the MS Cluster and the session was able to be established.

Don't forget to mark this question as "answered" if indeed that is the case.
