5.3.2 Predefined Zoning Configurations
There are three predefined zoning configurations for the Ultrastar Data102. Each configuration connects
a different number of hosts to a set number of drives. Each of these drives are part of a grouping called
a zone group. This section displays the necessary information related to each of the predefined zoning
configurations.

Configuration 0 allows all hosts to view all drive slots and the devices that are populated in those drive
slots. In this Configuration, all of the drives belong to the same zone group as shown in the image below
