Sample Configuration
Table 51 shows a sample zoning configuration:
Zoning Schemes
Various levels of zoning (or Zoning schemes) are created to isolate systems that
have different operating environments. For example, you can create a zone of all
ports connected to UNIX Servers, or another zone of all ports connected to
Windows Servers. Zones are created to limit access of devices to other devices
connected to the fabric within the same zone.
Zones can be configured dynamically. They can vary in size depending on the
number of fabric connected devices, and devices can belong to more than one
zone. Because zone members can access only other members of the same zone, a
device not included in a zone is not available to members of that zone.
Security
Zoning can only be managed or accessed by the primary FCS switch when
security is enabled; the Zoning icon only appears on the primary FCS switch. If
security is not enabled, the Zone icon appears in the Fabric Toolbar of every
licensed switch.
For specific information regarding Secure Fabrics, refer to the HP StorageWorks
Secure Fabric OS Version 1.0 User Guide.
