LSAN zones
Connecting to another network through a Fibre Channel (FC) router, you can create an LSAN zone to
include zone objects on other fabrics. No merging takes place across the FC router when you create
an LSAN zone.
Supported configurations for LSAN zoning
LSAN zoning is available only for backbone fabrics and any directly connected edge fabrics. A
backbone fabric is a fabric that contains an FC router. All discovered backbone fabrics have the
prefix LSAN_ in their fabric name, which is listed in the Zoning Scope list.
LSAN zones are supported between the following types of fabrics:
•
Fabric OS and Fabric OS
NOTE
LSAN zoning is supported only in Enterprise and Professional Plus editions.
Configuring LSAN zoning
The following procedure provides an overview of the steps you must perform to configure LSAN
zoning.
1. Select a backbone fabric from the Connectivity Map or Product List.
2. Select Configure > Zoning > LSAN Zoning (Device Sharing).
The Zoning dialog box displays, with the LSAN scope.
3. Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.
4. If you want to show all edge fabrics in your backbone fabric in the Potential Members list,
right-click a device and select Table > Expand All.
5. Create the LSAN zones.
For specific instructions, refer to “Creating an LSAN zone” on page 912.
6. Add members to each zone.
For specific instructions, refer to “Adding members to the LSAN zone” on page 913.
NOTE
You cannot add an LSAN zone to a zone configuration. LSAN zones are automatically added to
the active zone configuration. If the fabric does not have an active zone configuration, then a
zone configuration with the name LSAN_CFG_
timestamp is automatically created and the
LSAN zone is added to it.
7. Click Activate.
The Activate LSAN Zones dialog box displays.
