That is correct. > What is the recommended way to manage SAN based storage across > mulitple servers and zones ? We are going to have more than 32 zones > on a set of servers that are sharing storage. I don't know much about SANs so my answer might not be very helpful. I work on zones and I used to work on SVM. My understanding is that you would use LUN masking and configure the SAN so that the host that needs to see the SAN storage can see it. However, as I said, I don't much about SANs so this may not be correct. Once the host can see the storage, it would then be managed in the global zone and each non-global zone could be configured so that it sees a subset of the storage that the global zone can see. You can do this in various ways depending on how you want the non-global zone to access the storage (see zonecfg(1M) and look at the 'fs' and 'device' resources). The global zone will see all of the storage configured for that system on the SAN, but each non-global will only see the subset that it has been configured to see. I hope this helps, Jerry
