When you connect an SAP HANA host to a PowerStore system using the FC protocol, you must connect two HBA ports supporting 16 Gb/s or 32 Gb/s link speed to the PowerStore system. Although it is possible to use a single dual-port HBA, Dell Technologies highly recommends using two HBAs for HA and redundancy.
Connect and zone each port over the FC SAN network to two FC FE ports per storage processor on the PowerStore system. This configuration produces two active and two standby paths per LUN, as shown in the following figure:
After the HBAs of the SAP HANA server have been zoned to the PowerStore FC FE ports, create a host entry in the PowerStore system and add volumes to the host.
