Brocade FICON Administrator’s Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) - Manual (Page 27)

NOTE
Zoning does not replace the need to set up the connectivity from the host to storage control units in the
HCD or Input/Output Configuration Program (IOCP). For more information on zoning, refer to the Fabric
OS Administrator's Guide.
FIGURE 13 Complex cascaded zoning
Zone A (Blue): Any CHPID connected to Director 1, except CHPID 79, can get to any control unit
connected to Director 1. The zone includes all ports in Director 1 except ports 4, 5, and 6.
Zone B (Orange): Any CHPID connected to Director 2, except CHPID 7A, can get to any control unit
connected to Director 2. The zone includes all ports in Director 2 except ports 4, 5, and 6.
Zone C (Green): Any CHPID connected to Director 11 can get to any control unit connected to Director
11. The zone includes all ports in Director 11 except ports 5 and 6. Adding ports 5 and 6 to the zone, so
that all ports in the switch or Backbone are in the same zone, would not affect permitted connectivity
and may be a more practical alternative.
Zone D (Yellow): Any CHPID connected to Director 12 can get to any control unit connected to Director
12. The zone includes all ports in Director 12 except ports 5 and 6, which are used for ISLs.
Red Zone E: CHPID 79 can talk only to the remote tape connected to ports 7 and 8 on Director 11. The
zone includes port 4 of Director 1 and ports 7 and 8 of Director 11. Either ISL can be used.
Purple Zone F: CHPID 7A can talk only to the remote tape connected to ports 7 and 8 on Director 12.
The zone includes port 4 of Director 2 and ports 7 and 8 of Director 12. Either ISL can be used.
