Dupplicate Initiator Names for the same ESXI hosts with different SP-Port IQN/WW
Dears in EMC Team,
We have two storage (VNX5200 and VNX5100) which connected to the same HP SAN Switch and connected to our HP BL460c Gen9 server where ESXI is running on it.
When we setup hosts and initiators in both storage side, we noticed:
both storages have 4 initiators each (which it must be in our case), but all 4 initiators have the same name:
(51:40:2E:C0:00:D2:2D:4F:51:40:2E:C0:00:D2:2D:4E)
While when we open each Initiators properties, we see SP-Port IQN/WWN values are different for each, for example like below:
50:06:01:60:88:60:76:FA:50:06:01:69:08:60:76:FA
50:06:01:60:88:60:76:FA:50:06:01:61:08:60:76:FA
50:06:01:60:88:60:76:FA:50:06:01:68:08:60:76:FA
50:06:01:60:88:60:76:FA:50:06:01:60:08:60:76:FA
Currently all initiators are logged in and registered and showing GREEN as well, but we need confirmation if such Initiator Name duplicate will not make any problem in HBA redundancy considering that SP-Port IQN/WWN values are different for each?
Really appreciate your kind advice/feedback
thanks and best regards
