Using the CLI to Configure Zoning
This section describes how to use the CLI to configure zone members, zones, and
zone sets and apply the new or edited zone configurations to the switch.
To ensure uninterrupted operation of the MSA Fabric Switch 6, a three-stage process
was developed for configuring zoning using CLI:
• Stage one: creating the pending table
• Stage two: verifying the zoning configuration in the pending table
• Stage three: writing the pending table to the active table
The zoning configuration procedures are detailed in the following paragraphs and use
the following scenario.
Assume the following:
• Server1 needs to access Disk1 exclusively for Operating System boot (OS Boot).
• Server1 needs to access Raid1 for shared storage.
• Server1 needs to access Tape1 for backup.
• Server2 needs to access Disk2 exclusively for Operating System boot.
• Server2 needs to access Raid1 for shared storage.
• Server2 needs to access Tape1 for backup.
Before you begin to configure your zoning, you must first define the zone members,
zones, and zone sets that you will need.
Table C-4 lists the zone members, zones, and zone sets being used in this example
and indicates what members the zones and the zone sets contain.
