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.
