Figure 21-6 Second FC HBA port WWN
Let’s summarize. In this section, we enabled the BIOS on the first HBA port and noted down
the WWNs of both HBA ports:
HBA port 1 - 21:00:00:E0:8B:85:41:60
HBA port 2 - 21:01:00:E0:8B:A5:41:60
21.3 SAN switch zoning for the first I/O path
We are using an IBM 2005-B32 SAN switch, which now needs to be zoned.
1. First we create the following aliases:
x3755_QL_P0 for the first HBA port WWN (21:00:00:E0:8B:85:41:60).
x3755_QL_P1 for the second HBA port WWN (21:01:00:E0:8B:A5:41:60).
DS3400_CA_P0 for the DS3400 controller A WWN (20:26:00:A0:B8:2F:C1:D5).
DS3400_CB_P0 for the DS3400 controller B WWN (20:27:00:A0:B8:2F:C1:D5).
The WWNs of host ports on DS3400 controllers A and B were determined from the
DS3000 storage subsystem profile (see 9.2.1, “Storage Subsystem Profile” on page 203).
2. We create two zones which will be based on the aliases listed above.
Zone1: x3755_P0_CtrlA, with members
– first HBA port (alias x3755_QL_P0)
– DS3400 controller A (alias DS3400_CA_P0) WWN.
This zone defines the I/O path between the first HBA port and DS3400 controller A.
