Configuring Zoning
This chapter provides instructions for configuring zoning. Zoning defines the
communication paths in a fabric. A zone is comprised of a collection of initiator
and target ports within the SAN. The ports in a zone can only communicate with
other ports in that zone. However, ports can be members of more than one zone.
In order to zone devices in a fabric, the fabric’s principal switch must be an HP
switch and must be discovered and managed through the HAFM.
HAFM performs zoning discovery once at startup, and then once every two hours
during routine discovery. If the Zoning dialog box is open, zoning discovery is
performed during every polling cycle. It continues to discover at the increased
speed for 30 minutes before it returns to the default value. For best results, wait
for five discovery cycles after starting the HAFM Appliance before performing
zoning. The following zoning features are discussed in this chapter:
