4.6.8 File-Based Zoning
File-based zoning—introduced with firmware 2030—is a method of configuring zoning on an enclosure
using a binary configuration file provided by Western Digital Engineering. The file is downloaded to
the enclosure, and the zoning configuration is stored on the baseboard, where it both enables the file-
based zoning feature and configures the default zoning of the enclousre. Any newly installed IOM will then
automatically use the zoning configuration stored on the baseboard.
Caution: If zoning is later reconfigured using another standard method (i.e. OOBM,
sg_senddiag, SMP, WDDCS Tool), that configuration will only last until the enclousre is power-
cycled or reset. Once rebooted, the enclosure will read and enable the default configuration
from its baseboard. This behavior will continue as long as the file-based zoning feature is
enabled.
Zoning Files
Zoning files are available through the Western Digital Enterprise Support Center
Support/s/) for each of the predefined zoning configurations described in
Configurations (page 180)
(page 202) below. To request a custom zoning configuration file, please open a support case through the
Western Digital Enterprise Support Center.
