Setting the switch default zoning

CAUTION: Altering the active zoning configuration can disrupt SAN traffic.
A zone is a named group of ports or devices. Members of the same zone can communicate with each
other and transmit outside the zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone. Zoning
divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic.
Based on the HBA and storage ports connected to the switch, Simple SAN Connection Manager can set
the switch zoning to an HBA-based zoning scheme where each HBA is in its own zone along with all the
storage ports.
Use the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box to set a default zone and include or exclude a device
from a zone.
NOTE: When the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box first opens, all the devices are included in
zones.
To set the switch default zoning:
1. From the HBA & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch HBA-based Default Zoning.
