Zoning

These zoning rules apply to a heterogeneous SAN with MSA2000fc or MSA2000fc G2 storage

systems:

Zoning is required for all operating systems that access an MSA2000fc or MSA2000fc G2. See
"Heterogeneous SAN
An MSA2000fc or MSA2000fc G2 can be in multiple operating system zones.
For configurations that support common server access to multiple storage system types, see
"Common server
