SAN zoning of Hyper-V guest

Hi,exports.

To show a storage to the windows server Hyper-V guest via SAN(using WWN zoning),then the zone(including Hyper-V FC Port WWN and Host FC Port WWN in the same zone) needed?

When I made the RMC(Hyper-V guest), and show it a StoreOnce Catalyst Store(Storage) via SAN(using WWN zoning), it causes the blue scleen after host OS shuttdown.

But add the zone(member is "RMC FC Port; Host FC Port") , blue scleen didnt cause.

Is it the product specification(of Hyper-V or RMC)?

Regards,

Thank you for your reply.

In the below page,there is a sentence "Note that you must place FC Tape, Hyper-v Host(s), Virtual Machine and FC SAN in the same zone otherwise it will not work."

Do you know the reason that why need to place Hyper-v Host(s) in the same zone?

Or is there any Official document of MS or HPE or brocade?
