All:
We are going to disconnect/shut-down an old HP UNIX server in the near
future. It is connected to the SAN:
HP UNIX Server ------ Connectrix------Symmetrix
What steps do I have to perform to do this?
Here is what I was thinking had to be done (at least):
1. Remove Volume Access from all volumes to HBAs with ESN Manager/symmask.
2. Remove Zoning from HBAs to FAs with ESN Manager.
3. I can leave HVs presented to FAs, because the next server could use
them, but I will probably remove presentation to put old HVs back in "free
pool".
Here is what I was wondering:
1. Can I "Un-Access" and "Un-zone" with server down? Or do I need Server
up, so that the the HBA responds to probes from the Connectrix Switch. I
know that you can't zone a switch until the HBA driver is installed and the
HBA is talking.
2. Are there any EMC documents on "removing servers from SAN". I have
procedures for adding server to SAN, but not removing an entire server from
SAN.
3. Can I leave Fibre cables "dangling" from Connectrix to old HBAs? Is that
allowed? Unterminated?
