When creating a zone group: • When creating a drive bay based zone group, all the drives in the zone group should be attached to the switch through the same set of four ports shown in the table. For example, a zone group could include drives from three storage enclosures attached to ports 1, 3, and 4. However, creating a zone group using drives from two storage enclosures attached to ports 1 and 5 is not supported. • When creating a switch port zone group, the group can include multiple ports in the range 1-4 or 5-8, but not from both ranges. When assigning zone groups to server blades: • When modifying zone access rights of a server blade, the zone group must be for storage that is connected to the same expander that the server device bay is associated with. For example, server device bay 9 in a c7000 enclosure should be assigned to storage that is attached to ports 5-8 of the HP 3Gb SAS BL Switch. • When modifying zone access rights to drive-bay based zone groups, the server blades must first be taken offline. Restart them after completing the assignments and saving all changes in the VSM interface. • For a newly created zone group, when assigning the zone group to a server device bay, if RAID 1+0 arrays will be created, you must first power off the server blades. Restart the servers after completing the assignments and saving all changes in the VSM. • For an existing zone group, when changing the assignment to move the zone group to a different server, you must first stop all associated I/O with the zone group and power off the server blades. After completing the assignments and saving all changes in the VSM, restart the servers and resume I/O. • In a c7000 enclosure, when using a full-height blade that occupies bays 1 and 9, and with the P700m Controller in mezzanine slot 3, be sure to assign the zone group to blade bay 9 (the subsumed bay). This will correctly provide access from the server to the storage. 42 Zoning information
