Hello,
We have a FC SAN using 2 brocade switches/fabrics. Currently we have 10 ESXi hosts using FC SAN.
The ESXi hosts HBA ports and SAN controller ports are zoned together and we serve datastores via the provisioned LUNs after mapping the LUNs to the hosts.
I now must connect a single Windows host to the SAN temporarily.
I am worried about creating a zone containing the windows HBA ports and the SAN HBA ports for fear of the Windows host being able to access the ESXi LUNs.
I am quite sure things will be fine as long as I do not explicitly map the ESXi datastore LUNs to the Windows host.
Am I correct here in my assumption that unless I explicitly map the ESXi datastore LUNs to the newly added Windows host, the Windows host will not be able to harm the ESXi LUNS?
To be clear, there is no automatic mapping group for new LUNs, we control it explicitly.
Thank you
