Best practice for initiator and port groups
Hi, I was wondering about the best practice for the following:
if a host's has two initiators, one per fabric, should they both be placed in the same initiator group?
Likewise, if you create a port group for a masking view, should the VMAX's FAs from both fabrics be in the same port group or separate port groups?
Thank you,
Mike

HI Mikel203
Masking View (IG,PG,SG) generally define which Host Initiator in IG can see the Symdev in SG through VMAX FA port in PG. If you want your two initiator both can discover the Symdev. Two initiator should be added into same IG then create Masking View. Or you can create two IG contain your two Host Initiators then use cascaded group.

BTW, your question written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time, You can select "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for and select: "Symmetrix Support Forum" which would be the most relevant for this question.
