Name Server Zoning; Product Zoning - HP StorageWorks 64 - SAN Director Switch Planning Manual

Physical Planning Considerations
The system administrator can also use the HAFM application to assign remote
workstation access to directors and switches. Remote sessions can be allowed for
anyone on a customer intranet, disallowed completely, or restricted to specific
workstations. Remote users must log into the HAFM application with a user name
and password, just as when logging in to the local HAFM server. Passwords are
encrypted when sent across the network. By entering workstation IP addresses at
the HAFM application, administrators can allow access from all user workstations
or only from specific workstations.
For access through the Web server interface, the system administrator provides IP
addresses of products to authorized users, assigns access usernames, and controls
associated passwords.

Name Server Zoning

Directors and switches support a name server zoning feature that partitions
attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same
zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched
port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot recognize name server
information or communicate with each other.
