Configuring a Zone for a Virtual Device

After configuring a virtual device, you must create a zone that includes all the other real devices and the
virtual device as members, and add this zone to a zone set, which you can activate. You can add the
virtual device to the zone using the configured name and member type as the device alias.
Note This configuration process does not support interoperability. If you are working in interop-VSANs, we
recommend that you configure the zone directly using the system-assigned pWWN of the virtual device.

To add the virtual device to a zone as a zone member, follow these steps:
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# zoneset name zs1 vsan 1
Step 3
switch(config-zoneset)# zone name zone1
Step 4
switch(config-zoneset-zone)# member
device-alias vdev1
or
switch (config-zoneset-zone)# member pwwn

Step 5
switch(config-zoneset-zone)# member pwwn

Step 6
switch(config-zoneset-zone)# end
