Creating Secure Fabric OS Policies Creating an Options Policy You can create an Options policy to specify whether Node WWNs can be used to add members to zones. The use of node WWNs can introduce ambiguity because the node WWN may also be used for one of the device ports, as may be true with a host bus adapter (HBA). This policy is named OPTIONS_POLICY and has only one valid value, "NoNodeWWNZoning". Adding this value to the policy prevents use of Node WWNs for WWN-based zoning. If the policy does not exist or is empty, node WWNs can be used for WWN-based zoning. You can create only one Options policy. This policy cannot be used to control use of port WWNs for zoning. By default, use of Node WWNs is allowed; the Options policy does not exist until it is created by the administrator. The possible Options policy states are shown in Table 11. Table 11: Options Policy States Policy State No policy Policy with no entries Policy with entries Characteristics Node WWNs can be used for WWN-based zoning. Node WWNs can be used for WWN-based zoning. Node WWNs cannot be used for WWN-based zoning. To create an Options policy: 1. Log into the Primary FCS switch as Admin from a sectelnet or SSH session. 2. Enter the following: secpolicycreate OPTIONS_POLICY, "NoNodeWWNZoning" 3. To save or activate the new policy, enter the secpolicysave or the secpolicyactivate command. If neither of these commands are entered, the changes are lost when you log out. For more information about these commands, see "Saving Changes to Secure Fabric OS Policies" on page 77 and "Activating Changes to Secure Fabric OS Policies" on page 77. 4. If you want the change to affect current transactions, disable then re-enable the switch by entering the switchdisable and switchenable commands. This stops any current traffic between devices that are zoned using node names. 70 Secure Fabric OS Version 1.0 User Guide

Secure Fabric OS Version 1.0 User Guide
Creating an Options Policy
You can create an Options policy to specify whether Node WWNs can be used to
add members to zones. The use of node WWNs can introduce ambiguity because
the node WWN may also be used for one of the device ports, as may be true with
a host bus adapter (HBA).
This policy is named OPTIONS_POLICY and has only one valid value,
“NoNodeWWNZoning”
. Adding this value to the policy prevents use of Node
WWNs for WWN-based zoning. If the policy does not exist or is empty, node
WWNs can be used for WWN-based zoning. You can create only one Options
policy. This policy cannot be used to control use of port WWNs for zoning.
By default, use of Node WWNs is allowed; the Options policy does not exist until
it is created by the administrator.
The possible Options policy states are shown in
Table 11
.
To create an Options policy:
1.
Log into the Primary FCS switch as Admin from a sectelnet or SSH session.
2.
Enter the following:
secpolicycreate
OPTIONS_POLICY, “NoNodeWWNZoning”
3.
To save or activate the new policy, enter the
secpolicysave
or the
secpolicyactivate
command.
If neither of these commands are entered, the changes are lost when you log
out. For more information about these commands, see “
Saving Changes to
Secure Fabric OS Policies
” on page 77 and “
Activating Changes to Secure
Fabric OS Policies
” on page 77.
4.
If you want the change to affect current transactions, disable then re-enable
the switch by entering the
switchdisable
and
switchenable
commands. This stops any current traffic between devices that are zoned
using node names.
