share disks on two systems

Hi,

We've presented 10 disks to system A and VG has been created on it. Want to export his VG and import on another system.

We want to share these 10 disks to system B. Both system A & B are connected to different FAs.

In order to share these disks , If I add FA wwn of system A to zoning of system B in switch, would it be fine?

Thanks.

Correct, you can map devices to another set of FAs without unmaping/impacting device access from system A perspective.

you could do that , or you could map devices to the FA system B is connected to. Do you have a clustered file system in place, you need one to have concurrent access to this one VG.

Thanks dynamox for the reply.

We are not going to access VG concurrently.

So I don't need to unmap the devices from FA connected to System A before mapping to FA system B is connected. Right?

Thanks.
