Director 2/64 Installation Guide
Product Manager application on the HAFM server to receive unsolicited
SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes
and failure conditions.
Note:
For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, refer to
the

Zoning
The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices
into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize
and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections.
Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other.
Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server
information associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports
(F_Ports). A zone member is specified by the port number to which a device is
attached, or by the eight-byte (16-digit) World Wide Name (WWN) assigned to
the host bus adapter (HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A
device can belong to multiple zones.
Caution:
If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the director
fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly
include or exclude a device from a zone.
If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA
or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone
operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.
In Open Fabric mode, only zoning by WWN is supported. Zoning by port
numbers is not supported.
Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled
(activated) or disabled across all directors and edge switches in a multi-switch
fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time.
