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

add

[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

“Creating a

switch-port zone group” (page 65)

, and information for the zone group created in

“Creating

a drive-bay zone group” (page 67)

is displayed. As shown, Ports_1 and zone5 have not yet

been assigned to a server.

=> switch loc=local zg all show detail
