Assigning a zone group to a server device bay – HP 6Gb SAS Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class User Manual
Page 69
Assigning a zone group to a server device bay
Server device bays cannot access external storage connected to the switch until assigned a zone
group.
IMPORTANT:
•
For an existing zone group, when changing the assignment to move the zone group to a
different server device bay, you must first stop all associated I/O with the zone group and
power off the server blades. After completing the assignments and saving all changes in the
VSM, restart the servers and resume I/O.
Syntax
[zg=
Parameters
The exact name of the zone group to assign to the target blade
bay.
zg=
NOTE:
The following example demonstrates assigning a switch-port zone group to a server.
When assigning a drive-bay zone group to a server, the display differs, but underlying principles
remain the same.
1.
[Optional] Verify the status of the enclosure server device bays. Use the show command to
display all configured zone groups.
As shown in this example, information for the zone group, Ports_1, created in
switch-port zone group” (page 65)
, and information for the zone group created in
a drive-bay zone group” (page 67)
is displayed. As shown, Ports_1 and zone5 have not yet
been assigned to a server.
