Page 133: Fabric Zoning
Fabric Zoning This chapter explains how to: Zone fabrics Use zoning features and dialog boxes Zoning Basics Note: Designing zoning can be a complex task, especially for multiswitch fabrics. Refer to HP’s professional services organization before configuring zoning. This section is designed to help you understand the following concepts so that you can more efficiently use HAFM features to configure and manage zones across a multiswitch fabric: Benefits of zoning.
Page 134: Controlling Access Across A Fabric
Fabric Zoning Controlling Access Across a Fabric The fabric zoning feature enables you to partition devices attached to managed Fibre Channel products into groups called zones. A zone contains devices that can access one another through port-to-port connections. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with one another;...
Page 135: Zoning Through A Single Fibre Channel Managed Product
Fabric Zoning Figure 58 illustrates three zones established on a single managed product with four devices in each zone. Devices in each zone can communicate with and access devices only in their respective zones.

Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Interswitch Link Director Director Director Figure 59: Zoning through a multiswitch fabric High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide...
Page 137: Controlling Access At The Switch
Fabric Zoning Controlling Access at the Switch A port binding feature is available on switches and directors that allows you to “bind” a specific switch or director port to the WWN of an attached device for exclusive communication. This WWN binding feature is available through the Configure Ports option in the Product Manager application’s Configure menu.
Page 138: Zoning Concepts
Fabric Zoning The connection is bound to a storage port WWN. If the fiber optic cable is disconnected from the storage port, the server-to-storage connection is automatically reestablished when the port cable is reconnected. The connection is also automatically reestablished if the storage port is cabled through a different managed product port.
Page 139: Naming Conventions For Zones And Zone Sets
Fabric Zoning Naming Conventions for Zones and Zone Sets The following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets: All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For example, myzone and MyZone are both valid individually, but the are not considered to be unique.
Page 140: Using Wwns
Fabric Zoning Using WWNs To identify a zone member by WWN, use the 16-digit WWN of the device. For example: 10:00:08:00:88:40:C0:D4 In the HAFM and Product Manager, the WWN is preceded with the switch or director manufacturer’s name. The WWN is assigned to the Fibre Channel interface or HBA installed in devices such as servers or storage devices.
Page 141: Default Zone
Fabric Zoning The advantage of identifying a zone member by port number is that if the HBA on an attached device fails, you do not have to identify the member with the WWN of the replacement HBA. A disadvantage of port zoning is that someone may rearrange cable connections to ports (because of port failures or other reasons) and inadvertently allow devices to communicate that should not have access to each other.
Page 142: Active Zone Set
Fabric Zoning The following are some important points to remember about zone sets: If no zone set is active, and the default zone is disabled, then no devices can communicate. If you activate a zone set when there is already an active zone set, that set will replace the currently active zone set.
Page 143: Merging Zoned Fabrics
Fabric Zoning Merging Zoned Fabrics Managed products are linked through ISLs to form multiswitch fabrics. In a multiswitch fabric, the active zoning configuration applies to the entire fabric. Any change to the configuration applies to all switches in the fabric. Configurations of Merged Zoned Fabrics When fabrics join through an ISL, adjacent managed products exchange active zone configurations and determine if the configurations are compatible and can...
