Gurus,
We have our client running a bunch of NetApps FAS3070 in single image mode (as clustered pairs).
But in one of the pairs, we noticed that they have adapters which share the same Node WWN (which is expected), but I also see that the port WWN's are the **same** for both the Filers. How could this be? I saw a simillar complaint by another person on a VMWare forum. By having same Port WWN's for the both the filersin a cluster, wont it cause confusion at the OS level (OS Handles that is), as to where the disks really are?
Also note that both filers have all ports as local, with parner-adapter 'none'. Is this setup even valid?
Please explain?
Thanks
Sundar Ramamoorthy
