Hi,

I have this weird scenario on my VMAX which I need to resolve. Appreciate any help/ideas from anyone.

I have a port group with two ports in it, that is shared between 9 production servers. The port group is named after the ports - PG_7e0_10e0 . During a new allocation somebody uses the same port group for a server and adds two new ports to the port group (not sure why he/she did it!). So the port group PG_7e0_10e0 now has ports 7e0,10e0,6g1,11g1. How do we clean this up without disrupting any of the servers?

We need to provision the 10th server with ports 6g1 and 11g1 on a different port group, but without bringing down the application or server. We thought of an idea  to create a new Masking view, using a new port group PG_6g1_11g1 , and the existing initiator and storage groups. Then delete the old masking view and remove the ports from PG_7e0_10e0. But I am not sure if the host would have any impact if two masking views exist for the same host and same devices??!!

Any ideas?

Thanks
