Fabric Zoning
Zoning Concepts
Zoning components that you can configure through the Configure
icon’s menu options in the Fabric Manager include:
• Zones
• Default Zone
• Zone Sets
• Zone Library
• Active Zone Set
The following sections describe each of these components.
Zones
You create, delete, and display zones, add and remove members from
zones, and display active zone sets through the Zoning View.
A zone contains a set of members that can access each other. A
member can be a director port or the WWN of the device attached to
a port. Ports and devices spread throughout multiple directors in a
multiswitch fabric may be grouped into the same zone. Members of a
zone can see each other; members in different zones cannot. The
number of members that you can configure for a zone varies
according to the number of zones in the zone set, the length of the
zone names, and other factors.
EMC recommends that zones contain only WWNs.
Using WWNs To identify a zone member by WWN, use the 16-digit WWN of the
device attached to a director port.
Example: 10:00:08:00:88:40:C0:D4
The WWN is assigned to the Fibre Channel interface or HBA installed
in devices such as servers or storage devices. Although the device
may also have a node WWN, this WWN is not used for zoning
identification. If you have assigned a nickname to the WWN through
the Configure Nicknames dialog box, that nickname appears in
zoning dialog boxes instead of the WWN. In this case, you will assign
the nickname as the zone member.
Nicknames are typically assigned to the WWNs of the server HBA or
to the Symmetrix port; however, nicknames can also be assigned to a
fabric. From the Fabric View, you can identify the WWN of the fabric.
