There are three choices: • Typical Zoning creates a port based zoning scheme based on the connections made on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen (Figure 17). This zoning scheme creates a two member zone for every possible pairing of H and S ports connected on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen. This ensures that any host device connected to an H port is able to communicate with any storage device connected to an S port. • Custom Zoning allows you to customize which initiators access which targets, and creates a device-based zoning scheme based on your choices.
