zoning

each hba needs to be zoned to at least one port on SPA and one port on SPB. They need to be in separate zones too. IE:

HBA1 – SPA1

HBA1 – SPB1

HBA2 – SPB3

HBA2 – SPA3

And if I use this way:

HBA1 - (SPA1, SPB1)

HBA2 - (SPA3, SPB3)

or

HBA1 - all storage ports

HBA2 - all storage ports

what`s the differences?

Anyway everything will work normally and powerpath will show 4 paths to storage (c0t0d1, c0t2d1, etc), additionally each zone will contain only one initiator. Will perfomance go down? or what?

Alex,

If you have SanCopy installed on your array (and all VNXs pretty much come with SanCopy pre-installed), and you use the type of zoning you mentioned where you have multiple targets in the same zone. Clariion ports will login into each other and might cause issues, that's why it's best to do single init to single target zoning.
