Guidelines for Configuration
Switches
For high-availability applications, configure two sets of switches in parallel.
Zones and Arrays
See TABLE 2-7 for more information on Zones and TABLE 2-8 for more information on
zones, arrays and initiators.
■ Sun StorEdge T3 arrays support SL zones and nameserver zones (or zones in
which a host has made a point-to-point Fabric connection to a switch and the Sun
StorEdge T3 array is attached to a TL-port).
■ Do not mix different arrays in the same zone. A single zone can contain only Sun
StorEdge A3500FC arrays, or only Sun StorEdge A5200 arrays, or only Sun
StorEdge T3 arrays.
■ You may configure a minimum of one port per zone
For example, a 16-port switch can have a maximum of 16 zones
■ Zones cannot overlap (for example, a particular port can only belong to one zone)
Zones and Storage
■ You can dynamically add storage to an SL zone, using luxadm procedures for the
Sun StorEdge A5200 array. See “Adding a Sun StorEdge A5200 Array” on
page 123.
■ Segmented Loop (SL) zones and nameserver zones (translated loop zones) must
be in different hard zones on a switch.
