You must configure the zones on the switches so that there is one port per zone for a storage array
connection and one port per zone for each host.
You must zone the switches so that a single host adapter can access only one controller per storage
array.
The switches in the following figure contain 16 ports each, which leaves many unused ports per
switch. The remaining ports can be distributed among the other zones. However, it is recommended
that most remaining ports be assigned to the zones that contain the host connections (zone 1). This
setup allows connections for additional hosts.
The following figure shows how the two switches are zoned for the campus configuration.
