Creating Secure Fabric OS Policies

Creating an Options Policy

You can create an Options policy to specify whether Node WWNs can be used to
add members to zones. The use of node WWNs can introduce ambiguity because
the node WWN may also be used for one of the device ports, as may be true with
a host bus adapter (HBA).
This policy is named OPTIONS_POLICY and has only one valid value,
"NoNodeWWNZoning". Adding this value to the policy prevents use of Node
WWNs for WWN-based zoning. If the policy does not exist or is empty, node
WWNs can be used for WWN-based zoning. You can create only one Options
policy. This policy cannot be used to control use of port WWNs for zoning.
By default, use of Node WWNs is allowed; the Options policy does not exist until
it is created by the administrator.
The possible Options policy states are shown in
