Create nicknames for each Symmetrix Fibre Channel director
zone member. Give each zone member a name that contains the
last four digits of the Symmetrix serial number and the Fibre
Channel director port; for example: sym1157_fa13b.
Create zones and name them using the convention for HBA zone
members, except use uppercase; for example:
EXCHANGE1_HBA0.
Create zone sets, and prefix each zone set name with the prefix
used for the set of switches in the fabric; for example:
f1_ZS_NTPROD or fnorth_ZS_NTPROD.
Using the above guidelines, the resulting structure would be:
f1_ZS_NTPROD
ORACLE1_HBA0
oracle1_hba0
sym1157_fa13b
EXCHANGE1_HBA0
exchange1_hba0
sym1323_fa4a
EXCHANGE1_HBA1
exchange1_hba1
sym1323_fa14b
An option for zone naming would be to prefix the zone name with
Z_, resulting in a structure like this:
f1_ZS_NTPROD
Z_ORACLE1_HBA0
oracle1_hba0
sym1157_fa13b
Z_EXCHANGE1_HBA0
exchange1_hba0
sym1323_fa4a
Z_EXCHANGE1_HBA1
exchange1_hba1
sym1323_fa14b
