Description
Specify the number of hops used when
selecting a path. If "Use Fabric Settings"
or "Number of Hops Restriction" is false,
this field is ignored even if entered.
Determines whether to add to an
existing zone or create a new zone. If
Use Existing Zone is true, this setting is
ignored even if entered.
Determines whether to use existing
zone aliases. Specify True to use
predefined zone aliases regardless of
the specified naming conventions. If you
specify False, the system selects zone
aliases that follow the naming
conventions. In either case, if there are
no existing zone aliases, the system
creates new ones that follow the naming
conventions. When selecting the
existing Zone Alias, Zone naming is
fixed as
HostZoneAliasName_StorageZoneAlias
Name.
Note: If the service finds more than one
alias candidate which have the same
WWN, the alias is chosen based on the
following priorities:
1. Search existing aliases which only
have that WWN. If more than one
alias is found, the system selects the
first alias in the list of existing
aliases.
2. If no alias is found using the first
priority, search existing aliases which
have multiple WWNs including that
WWN. If more than one alias is
found, the system selects the first
alias in the list of existing aliases.
Determines whether to use Zone Active
configuration when adding or creating a
zone.
