I have backup software which is installed on RHEL 7 Server. The connectivity between Data Domain and the Backup Server is as below:
Zonning is configured on switch 1 and switch 2 as below:
Alias For Data Domain HBA card 1:
DD_HBA1_P1
DD_HBA1_P2
Alias For Data Domain HBA card 2:
DD_HBA2_P1
DD_HBA2_P2
Alias for Server 001 HBA Card 1:
Server001_HBA1_P1
Server001_HBA1_P2
Alias for Server 001 HBA Card 2:
Server001_HBA2_P1
Server001_HBA2_P2
As Server001 is initiator and there are 4 ports so I created 4 zones for each initiator.
Data Domain storage is configured as open storage in the backup software. We Can't see the disk mounted on the OS. Data Domain is visible on OS as a character device .
I have few queries as below:
1. Is multipathing required on server001 ? If not then why?
2. Can I configure multipathing on FC Ports? if Yes, Please guide me by sharing the steps or KB article.
