Provision Provides provisioning tools for switches and storage systems:
Switches - Lets you activate and deactivate zone sets, in addition to managing
the following:
• Zone aliases (Not applicable to McDATA switches)
• Zones
• Zone sets (The delete zone set option is disabled for active zone sets).
Notes:
• When McDATA or Connectrix switches are discovered through a proxy by
using SNMP, you cannot view or perform any provisioning operations for
those switches. For example, you cannot view zone sets, zones, or zone
aliases.
• When McDATA or Connectrix switches are discovered by their IP address
by using SNMP, you can only view the active zone set and its members.
You cannot create, modify, or delete a zone set or its members.
Storage Systems - Lets you manage the following:
• Storage pools
• Volumes
• Host security groups
These options are offered only when supported by the storage system.
