Zone Administration View
Administrative privileges are required to access this view. If a switch
or device is added or removed from the network, it is necessary to
save the changes and relaunch the Zone Administration view for the
changes to take effect.
When administering Zoning, EMC recommends that you perform the
following steps:
1. Define a zone alias for each individual device to make zone
administration easier.
2. Create zones and add zone members.
3. Place zones into one or more zone configurations.
4. Enable one of the zone configurations (only one can be enabled at
a time).
There are three separate methods for adding members to a zone. Each
method corresponds to a zoning mode, and the combination of the
methods corresponds to an additional mode. Once you select a mode,
all zoning operations must correspond to that mode, and any zones,
aliases, and configuration files which do not cannot be selected.
EMC recommends the use of WWN Zoning. See Table 3-6 for more
information on this mode.
Table 3-6 Adding Members to a Zone
Zoning Mode Method Description
Port Level Zoning Zoning by physical domain/port number. All alias, zoning, and
configuration file operations must be performed using port.
Aliases, zones, and configuration files which have objects other
than ports cannot be selected or operated on.
WWN Level Zoning Zoning by WWNs only. All alias, zoning, and configuration file
operations must be performed by WWNs. Aliases, zones, and
configuration files that have objects other than WWNs cannot be
selected or operated on.
