Netapp and Vmware recommended 'single intiator multiple strogare target ' zones. Can some make it clear for me.
Today the way I do my Fabric zoning is I first create Alias for the ESX intiator as well as alias for each storage target. Then I create a zone with the all 3 of those alias inside. Is this correct or should I seperate each target to a seperate zone
So for example (This today for 6 esx servers with a fas3020 cluster )
Aliases:
filer1_fc0a:
1,0 50:0a:09:80:86:d8:0a:fe
filer2_fc0a:
1,4 50:0a:09:80:86:d8:0a:fe
esxvmvi01:
