Does it matter if you have multiple LUN's exported to a hostset and you only change the persona of 1 host? |

I don't believe so, as you could have 5 esx servers and a windows server in a host set, the windows server being the backup server. |

THNX David Just to make sure I will rephrase my question. Does it matter if 1 LUN is exported to 2 different persona ESXI's (the old persona and the new)? |

No. We have multiple LUNs presented to a host set and we did a rolling change of the persona, putting one host at a time in maintenance mode, shutting it down, switching the person and powering it back up, the moving on to next host in the esxi cluster. Just time consuming. |

Indeed, when you are hp changing host personas, you aren't changing the luns in any way, just the way that host handles luns and paths etc. It's not like a netapp where we have hosts set with a certain os type and also choose the os for the lun at creation. |
