Configuring mSNS
The SAN Router’s metro storage name server (mSNS) stores the
inventory of hosts and storage devices in the mSAN as well as zoning
information, to specify which hosts can use which storage devices.
SAN Router discovers the Inventory information automatically. You
can view inventory information for locally attached devices by
selecting
Storage Name Server
from the
Statistics
/
Info
tab. For more
information, refer to
Viewing Statistics
on page 6-14.
Configuring New Device Zoning
By default, all new devices attached to the SAN Router, including
router-attached devices (RADs), are unzoned. They are not part of
any zone and cannot talk to any other device. Initially, they are not
even part of the default zone (zone 1). You must explicitly assign new
devices to zones.
To change the default zone behavior:
1. Select
Configuration
>
System
>
New Device Zoning
to display the
New Device Zoning
dialog box ( Figure 2-17 on page 2-35).

2. Click
Not a member of any zone
to reinstate the factory default.
All new devices will be unzoned, isolated devices that do not
have connectivity with any other zoned or unzoned devices.
Some Fibre Channel HBAs do not interact well when placed in a
common zone, due to vendor unique practices.
