Hi:
Can some experts please help to clarify as I have been reading lot of conflicting information from various sources?
Q1. Is NetApp FAS3140A an Active-Passive Controller Storage Array? Some told me that it is an Active-Passive and others told me otherwise as it is configurable.
Example:
WWPN
Port 1 Port 2 Remark
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Storage Controller 1 50:06:01:60:44:60:01:A2 50:06:01:68:44:60:01:A2 Active Controller
Storage Controller 2 50:06:01:61:44:60:01:A2 50:06:01:69:44:60:01:A2 Passive Controller
Assume 2 Fabric Interconnects, 2 SAN Switches and 1 NetApp FAS 3140 Filer
Q2. If it is an Active-Passive Array, how should I configure SAN Boot Policy for UCS?
Is the following correct as seen in UCSM GUI after configuring?
vNIC Type Lun ID WWN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should it be:SAN primary vHBA0 Primary
SAN Target primary Primary 0 Must this be the WWPN of Port 1 from Controller 1?
SAN Target secondary Secondary 0 Must this be the WWPN of Port 2 from Controller 1?
SAN secondary vHBA1 Secondary
SAN Target primary Primary 0 Must this be the WWPN of Port 1 from Controller 2?
SAN Target secondary Secondary 0 Must this be the WWPN of Port 2 from Controller 2?
Thanks.

KP,
If you are going to have four paths, what you have listed is how you should have the boot policy setup. One WWPN from each port on the controller for redudnancy.
Primary

Secondary
