Thanks to Fred Serino, Jim Lola, Rochelle Lauer, Pat O'Brien.

The common opinion was that I needed to zone the switches for those OS's
that don't "play well together".
San docs available at
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/storageworks/techdoc/san/

* SCSI resets may propagate to other hosts.
* Linux, Windows and othe OS will try to login to a LUN regardless of
SSP.
* Because HPAQ said so...

        Subject: Question: Heterogeneous SANS: Tru64, Linux, Openvms

        Greetings all,

        I'd like to run Linux 8.0, Tru64 4.0g, and Openvms cluster 7.2.1 on
the same
        SAN. This SAN is currently running, but with only Openvms on it.

        Even though the SAN is homogenous, I limit access to units by using
        selective storage presentation.
        (hsg801>set d1 dis=all enable=(ovms1,ovms2,ovms3,ovms4)

        The documentation matrix mentions that I should enable zoning on the
        switches, something I've never done before.

        The Question:
        Why do I need to create zones on the switches if the HSG can limit
the units
        per OS by using selective storage presentation?

        Thanks in advance!!
