Figure 28 Switch Zoning Information dialog box (TR_Ports mapping) 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. HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager user guide 53
