BS2000 volumes which are connected to an x86 server are mapped to the configured Linux volumes. These are operated using one or more Fibre Channel HBAs (Host Bus Adapters). The Linux volumes are connected to the storage system directly or via a Fibre Channel switch. BS2000 volumes connected to x86 servers via Fibre Channel must be configured on storage system (1), switch (2) and X2000 (4) levels (the level numbers as used in figure 5 in "Settings for x86 servers" are in parentheses). No special configuration is necessary at Linux level (3).
CAUTION!
If configuration changes are made on the storage system which change the assignment of the logical volumes to the storage system's FC adapter, no devices of any VM may be assigned when operating with VM2000.
