Improvements in the SAS standard has greatly increased the number of devices that can be accommodated
in a single domain. The concept of zones for grouping disks drives has been developed and implemented in the
SAS 2 standard as a means to better manage this increase. Zone Configuration enables you to configure data
hosts to access a specified group of hard disk drives via Serial attached SCSI (SAS). Zone configuration hard
disk drive access control is used for the traffic segregation, resource flexibility, improved security, and topology
control functionality.
By default, SAS access configuration is disabled, which means all hosts can access all disks.
Note
End users can change the Zone Configuration using the
zone
CLI command.
