Channel Zoning

Scalar i2000 User's Guide
Channel zoning, also called port zoning, is an optional feature that
4
configures access to an entire Fibre Channel and all the LUNs on that
channel for the exclusive use of a host or group of hosts on a single port.
Channel zoning enables you to control access between specific target
Fibre Channel (FC) ports and initiator channels on an I/O blade in your
library. If you make changes to the channel zoning settings, you must
reboot the I/O blade for the new settings to take effect.
CAUTION
1 Log on as an administrator.
2 Make sure that you are viewing the physical library. From the View
menu, click the name of the physical library.
3 Click Setup→ Device→ Access→ Channel Zoning.
The Channel Zoning dialog box appears.
4 Click the I/O blade you want to configure to highlight it.
The same I/O blade could appear multiple times in the list depending on
the number of hosts assigned to the I/O blade. You only need to select one
instance of the blade to zone the entire blade.
Chapter 4 Configuring Your Library
If you change channel zoning after host
computers or applications have already
discovered devices, you must make sure that
device discovery occurs again. Device discovery
could occur automatically when you reboot the
library. Some host computers have plug and play
capability, which can discover devices
automatically. Host applications might discover
devices automatically.
