The local fabric may consist of one or multiple HP Storageworks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switches connected by their ISLs. A specific device attached to an 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch can be mapped with one or more devices in one remote fabric over only one TR_Port on that 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch. If a device attached to an 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch is mapped with multiple devices in the same remote fabric, the same TR_Port must be used.

Page 35: Configured Zonesets Data Window
A zone can be a component of more than one zone set. Several zone sets can be defined for a fabric, but only one zone set can be active at one time. The active zone set determines the zoning of the fabric. HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide...
Page 36: Aliases
Membership in a zone can be defined by switch domain ID and port number, device Fibre Channel address (FCID), or device WWN. • WWN entries define zone membership by the WWN of the attached device. With this membership method, you can move WWN member devices to different switch ports in different zones without having to edit the member entry as you would with a domain ID/port number member.
Page 37: Viewing Zoning Limits And Properties
To apply zoning to a fabric, choose a zone set and activate it. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set and its zones, excluding aliases, to every switch in the fabric. This zone set is then known as the active zone set. HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide...
Page 38 You cannot edit an active zone set on a switch. You must configure an inactive zone set to your needs and then activate that updated zone set to apply the changes to the fabric. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the fabric.

Default Zone The Default Zone parameter enables (Allow) or disables (Deny) communication among ports/devices that are not defined in the active zone set or when there is no active zone set. This parameter must have the same value throughout the fabric. However, the Default Zone parameter is not automatically distributed throughout the fabric and must be configured to the same state in every switch in the fabric.
