connector. There is no restriction or access control from the Expander. As depicted in diagram below:
Zoning Configuration 1
In Zoning Configuration 1, the Hard Disk Drive pool is divided evenly into two groups.
To make the allocation user friendly and easy identify; drive slots are divided right at the middle of the enclosure.
Zoning configuration allocates Disk Group 1 to IOM1 and Disk Group 2 to IOM2.
IOM1 cannot access any disk drive within Disk Group 2 and vise-versa.
