Setting up TI over FCR (sample procedure) 12 To display information about all TI zones in the defined configuration in ascending order: switch:admin> zone --show -ascending Defined TI zone configuration: TI Zone Name: bluezone: Port List: 8,3; 8,5; 9,2; 9,3; Configured Status: Deactivated / Failover-Disabled Enabled Status: Activated / Failover-Enabled TI Zone Name: greenzone: Port List: 2,2; 3,3; 4,11; 5,3; Configured Status: Activated / Failover-Enabled Enabled Status: Activated / Failover-Enabled TI Zone Name: purplezone: Port List: 1,2; 1,3; 3,3; 4,5; Configured Status: Activated / Failover-Enabled Enabled Status: Deactivated / Failover-Enabled Setting up TI over FCR (sample procedure) The following example shows how to set up TI zones over FCR to provide a dedicated path shown in Figure 49. In this example, three TI zones are created: one in each of the edge fabrics and one in the backbone fabric. The combination of these three TI zones creates a dedicated path for traffic between Host 1 in edge fabric 1 and Targets 1 and 2 in edge fabric 2. Host 1 has port WWN 10:00:00:00:00:08:00:00 Target 1 has port WWN 10:00:00:00:00:02:00:00 Target 2 has port WWN 10:00:00:00:00:03:00:00 Host 1 Target 1 Target 2 Domain ID = 1 8 5 Edge fabric 1 Domain ID = 4 9 1 4 Backbone fabric Domain ID = 2 23 6 7 Domain ID = 9 FIGURE 49 = Dedicated path set up by TI zone in edge fabric 1 = Dedicated path set up by TI zone in edge fabric 2 = Dedicated path set up by TI zone in backbone fabric TI over FCR example Edge fabric 2 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 287 53-1001763-01
