You are designing a new 4-node AFF A400 SAN cluster with 20 iSCSI hosts. Each AFF A400 node will have four data LIFs. Each iSCSI host needs to access every LUN over two LIFs per node on every SAN node.
In this scenario, which NetApp SAN feature enables this connectivity?
To enable each iSCSI host to access every LUN over specific LIFs per node in a NetApp SAN environment, the feature to use is 'port sets'. Port sets allow you to limit the number of paths to a LUN by specifying which target ports can be used by initiators. This enables efficient management of LUN access and helps in balancing the load across the available network interfaces.
