• Third-party storage zones are governed by product-specific configuration guidelines (see the thirdparty product documentation). • See "Third-party switch support" on page 179 for third-party fabric and switch support. • See "Heterogeneous SAN storage system coexistence" on page 232 for storage system nl coexistence support. 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 support" on page 236. • 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 access" on page 232.

Third-party storage zones are governed by product-specific configuration guidelines (see the third-
party product documentation).
See
Third-party switch support

coexistence support.
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 support
on page 236.
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 access
on page 232.
Maximums
Table 118
lists maximum configurations for the MSA2000fc and MSA2000fc G2.
