Zoning

The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices
into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize
and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections.
Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other.
Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server
information associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports
(F_Ports). A zone member is specified by the port number to which a device is
attached, or by the eight-byte (16-digit) World Wide Name (WWN) assigned to
the host bus adapter (HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A
device can belong to multiple zones.
Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled
(activated) or disabled across all directors and edge switches in a multi-switch
fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time.
24
Product Manager application on the HAFM server to receive unsolicited
SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes
and failure conditions.
For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, refer to
HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches
Caution: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the director
fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly
include or exclude a device from a zone.
If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA
or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone
operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.
In Open Fabric mode, only zoning by WWN is supported. Zoning by port
numbers is not supported.
