Figure 8 Configuration for Zoning Example
Host 1 belongs to a local work group and accesses JBOD 1 as its primary resource. But Host 1 also accesses
JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4 as a backup resource.
Host 2, a backup server, has JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4 as its primary resource. It also accesses JBOD 1
Host 3, a web server, has exclusive access to JBOD 5. It also accesses JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4 for backup.
Because Host 1 and Host 2 have the same JBOD access requirements, you can define them as a single zone
group. You can define JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4 as a zone group because they are always used together as a
backup resource.
To create a suitable configuration, run the SDM utility and create the zone groups shown in the following figure.
Figure 9 Creating Zone Groups
Next, use the SDM utility to assign the following permissions, by creating zone sets:
Zone Group 6 accesses Zone Groups 8 and 9, and vice versa.
Zone Group 7 accesses Zone Groups 9 and 10, and vice versa.
