Zoning Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
Configuring QuickLoop Zones
To configure QuickLoop zoning, perform these steps as described in the following
sections.
1.
Create a QuickLoop (Only required when zoning by AL_PA.)
2.
Define a QuickLoop zone
3.
Define a QuickLoop zone configuration
Create a QuickLoop
Refer to the
HP StorageWorks QuickLoop Fabric Assist Version 3.1.x User Guide
for information about creating a QuickLoop.
Define a QuickLoop Zone
A QuickLoop zone is a group of L_ports or AL_PAs that can communicate with
each other. These ports and AL_PAs must reside within the same QuickLoop. To
be a QuickLoop zone, every member must be either a looplet (L_port) or an
AL_PA within a single QuickLoop. QuickLoop zones can overlap looplets, but
they must be confined to a single QuickLoop.
QuickLoop zones are hardware enforced, but zones within a single looplet are not
enforceable; therefore, it is recommended that you do not partition devices within
a looplet into different zones.
To define a QuickLoop zone, first enable and create the necessary QuickLoops.
Then specify the list of members to be included and assign a unique zone name. A
QuickLoop zone name must be a unique alpha-numeric string beginning with an
alpha character. The underscore character ( _ ) is allowed and zone names are case
sensitive. For example, Zone1 is not the same name as zone1.
To create a QuickLoop zone, specify QuickLoop zone members by looplet, by
AL_PA, or by combination of the two.
To Specify by Looplet
Specify the QuickLoop zone name, in quotes, and the physical ports to be
included, in quotes. For example:
Zonecreate “QLZoneName”, “0,0; 0,1; 2,6; 2,7; 2,8”
