SAN Zoning
NOTE: If you configure your SAN zoning using Fibre Channel World Wide Port
Names (WWPNs), note that SANbox SSP WWPNs begin with the
hexadecimal digits 5009066. StoreAge SVM appliance WWPNs begin
with 2000111.
Zoning is a SAN management technique for making the most efficient use of storage
devices in the SAN. This section provides two examples of zoning.
In Figure 4-1, a single Fibre Channel switch is used to connect all storage and
initiators. Zoning is used to partition the front-side initiators (HBAs) and back-side
(target) storage and SVM appliances into two separate logical SANs.
