Table 59 Enforcing hardware zoning Fabric type Methodology Best practice HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/8-EL, 2/16, 2/16-EL, 2/16V, 2/16N, 2/32, HP StorageWorks MSA SAN Switch 2/8, HP StorageWorks 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches, HP StorageWorks 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switches, Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem, Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 4/32, HP StorageWorks 4/64 SAN Switch, HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 4/32B, HP StorageWorks 8/40 SAN Switch, HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch, HP StorageWorks 400 Multi-Protocol Router, HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director, HP StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director, and HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch platforms Mixed switches Enable hardware-enforced zoning on domain,port zones, and WWN zones. Overlap of similar zone types does not result in the loss of hardware enforcement. Overlap with other zone type results in the loss of hardware enforcement. Connecting a device specified by WWN to a port specified in a domain,port zone results in loss of the hardware enforcement in both zones. For the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director with an HP StorageWorks SAN Director 48 Port 4Gb FC blade: If ports 16 through 47 on the FC4-48 port blade use domain,port identifiers, session-based zoning is enforced on these ports. Enable hardware-enforced zoning according to each switch type. To find the zone type to which a device is attached, see "Identifying the enforced zone type" on page 240. Use either WWN or domain,port identifiers. Use domain,port identifiers. You can use WWN identifiers if you place disk and tape targets on HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/8-EL, 2/16, 2/16-EL, 2/16V, 2/16N, 2/31, HP StorageWorks MSA SAN Switch 2/8, and HP StorageWorks SAN Director 2/128, and do not use domain,port identifiers. Figure 27 shows a fabric with four non-overlapping hardware-enforced zones.
