After the masking view has been created for the example’s Prod2 host (ENTTME0108), the storage can be discovered and acquired. Once this is done, the storage can be formatted, and IO be sent. The steps used to accomplish this are detailed in Discover PowerMax iSCSI storage on the host. Repeat these same steps if the host is a Windows 2016 Server. For Linux, consult the various RedHat, CentOS, Ubuntu user documentation for details around how to perform these steps.
The primary point of this section is to demonstrate how two different storage environments can make use of the same SE port resources. This is a key premise behind enabling multitenancy on the PowerMax storage array. Performance charts and user created performance dashboards in Unisphere for PowerMax can easily show this concept in action. The following dashboard shows the two hosts used in the Prod1 and Prod2 examples sending IO to the array. The dashboard shows:
