Lefthand MPIO and HP X1600

[Gary Steeley]

I currently have two host servers connecting to a two-node P4300 SAN using the Lefthand MPIO (8.5) I want to add an HP Storageworks X1600 to my network and was wondering if I will have any issue connecting to iSCSI targets on the X1600 using the Lefthand MPIO.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It should work fine.
But not recommended.

If you have only 1 nic on you Host server and want to connect to both P4300 and X1600, you should be able to do it.
They should work fine. But as said I would not tax that single nic so much.

I would recommend not putting the X1600 in the same subnet as P4300.
Your SAN Storage is preferred to be in a Segregated network.

I would expect you X1600 on you LAN which can be accessed by all Hosts/Clients.

If you have to put X1600 in the same subnet as P4300s then have a separate nic on the Host talking to the X1600.
