IMPORTANT:
„ NEC intensely recommends that the port mode zoning is used. If the WWN mode
zoning is used, zoning must be changed every replacement of a fibre channel device in
such cases as maintenance replacement of connected devices. The port mode zoning
does not require zoning resetting in maintenance replacement (as long as port
numbers are not changed).
„ Before changing zoning, you should be fully familiar with the zoning feature. Some
zoning change during system operation may cause a system fault to occur
unintentionally. While zoning is changed, check the changing information and
procedure and the influences of the change on others sufficiently.
„ Disconnecting devices connected to the 8G FC Switch logically by zoning allows
internal influences on fibre channels including login/logout of devices out of the relevant
zone to be rejected.
„ The command input on the console of the 8G FC Switch does not correspond to the file
input feature of a communication terminal (VT100 emulator). Using file input of a
communication terminal (VT100 emulator) may cause a device error to occur. Note that
the file input may not be used.
„ When setting of Zoning is done in the 8G FC Switch with cascading connection, the
ports used for cascading path between 8G FC Switch must not be set zone. The
cascading path is used by all zones. It may become a cause of failure of device
recognition if setting of Zoning is done with the zone including the ports used for
cascading path.
„ When servers running different OS (Operating System) are used to connect the 8G FC
Switch, each OS should be separated in each zone by using zoning feature. Be carefull
that the 8G FC Switch may not be used under the situation that no zone is defined or
more than one OS belong to the same zone.
„ When disk array devices and tape devices for backup are used to connect the 8G FC
Switch, each disk array device and tape device should be separated in each zone by
using zoning. The 8G FC Switch may not be used under the situation that disk array
devices and tape devices are connected without zoning or both a disk array device and
a tape device belong to the same zone or more than one tape device belong to the
same zone.
„ When SAN boot is used by the server systems connected to the 8G FC Switch, a port
connected to a host HBA and a port connected to a disk array device must be set
zoning as a pair.
