Setting the switch default zoning

CAUTION:

Altering the active zoning configuration can disrupt SAN traffic.

A zone is a named group of ports or devices. Members of the same zone can communicate with each

other and transmit outside the zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone. Zoning

divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic.
Based on the HBA and storage ports connected to the switch, SAN Connection Manager can set the switch

zoning to an HBA-based zoning scheme where each HBA is in its own zone along with all the storage

ports.
Use the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box to set a default zone and include or exclude a device

from a zone.

NOTE:

When the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box first opens, all the devices are included in

zones.
