FC router matrix definition
Depending on the structure of the backbone fabric, you can specify pairs of FC routers that can
access each other. For the metaSAN shown in
Figure 79 , the following FC routers can access each
other:
•
FC router 1 and FC router 2
•
FC router 3 and FC router 4
Because there is no device sharing between the two groups of FC routers, you can use the
fcrLsanMatrix command with the -fcr option to create the corresponding FC router matrix:
fcrlsanmatrix --add -fcr wwn1 wwn2
fcrlsanmatrix --add -fcr wwn3 wwn4
The variables wwn1 , wwn2 , wwn3 , and wwn4 are the WWNs of the four FC routers.
Now edge fabrics 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 can access each other, and edge fabrics 4, 5, 6, and 9 can
access each other; however, edge fabrics in one group cannot access edge fabrics in the other
group. The edge fabrics can still communicate with the backbone fabric.
LSAN fabric matrix definition
With LSAN zone binding, you can specify pairs of fabrics that can access each other. Using the
metaSAN shown in
Figure 79 as an example, the following edge fabrics can access each other:
•
Fabric 1 and Fabric 2
•
Fabric 2 and Fabric 3
•
Fabric 4 and Fabric 5
•
Fabric 5 and Fabric 6
You can use the fcrLsanMatrix command with the -lsan option to create the corresponding LSAN
fabric matrix:
fcrlsanmatrix --add -lsan 1 2
fcrlsanmatrix --add -lsan 2 3
fcrlsanmatrix --add -lsan 4 5
fcrlsanmatrix --add -lsan 5 6
Fabrics that are not specified are part of the default binding and can access other edge fabrics that
are not specified. Thus, fabrics 7, 8, and 9 can access each other, but cannot access fabrics 1
through 6.
ATTENTION
The fcrLsanMatrix
--
add -lsan 0 0 command will erase the entire LSAN fabric matrix settings in the
cache.
The FC router matrix and the LSAN fabric matrix are used together to determine which fabrics can
access each other, with the LSAN fabric matrix providing more specific binding.
