3 Fabric profile • The SANZoneSupported property is added in the Brocade_SANZoneCapabilities to indicate the SAN zone support. • The Brocade_SANZoneService supports the following extrinsic methods: - SANSessionControl - SANSessionControlWithJob - CreateSANZone - AddSANZoneMembers - RemoveSANZoneMembers - DeleteSANZone • The CIM_ZoneService such as CreateZoneSet, CreateZone, and CreateZoneAlias are not supported in Brocade_SANZoneService. • Use SANSessionControl method with RequestedSessionState=2 to start a session before configuring SAN zones through CreateSANZone, AddSANZoneMembers, RemoveSANZoneMembers, and DeleteSANZone extrinsic methods. • The SAN zones are activated while the session is closed using SANSessionControl method with RequestedSessionState=3. • You cannot open a session for SAN level zoning and Fabric level zoning simultaneously for a particular backbone fabric. If you start with a session for SAN level zone, it must be closed before starting the session for fabric level zone and vice versa. • The CreateSANZone() in Brocade_SANZoneService will get the SAN zone name, list of member WWNs, and SANZoneType as inputs. A zone with multiple members is created and activated in the backbone or edge fabrics based on the members. • The AddSANZoneMembers() in Brocade_SANZoneService will get the SAN zone name and member WWNs as input. Add the zone members to LSAN zone and reactivate the LSAN zone. • The RemoveSANZoneMembers() in Brocade_SANZoneService will get the SAN zone name and member WWNs as input. Remove those zone members from LSAN zone and reactivate the LSAN zone. • The DeleteSANZone() in Brocade_SANZoneService will get the zone name as input and deletes the same zone from the fabrics. • Only WWN zone member type is supported, and Domain:PortIndex zone member type is not supported in SAN level zoning. • CreateSANZone, AddSANZoneMembers, and RemoveSANZoneMembers calls return an error code 5 (CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER), if the zone members are not WWN member type. • The AddSANZoneMembers extrinsic call will not return an error, when duplicate members are already present in zone. • The RemoveSANZoneMembers extrinsic call will not return errors, when the requested member is not present in the zone. • The Brocade_SANZoneCollection represents the SAN zones in SAN. • The Brocade_ZoneInSANZoneCollection represents the association between Brocade_SANZoneCollection (SAN Zone) and Brocade_Zone (active zones in backbone or edge fabrics). • The SAN zone is added under an existing active zone configurations during SAN zone activation. If there is no active configuration in the edge fabric or backbone fabric, a zone set with the name of "LSAN_CFG_" is created and the respective SAN zone is added under this zone set. 30 Brocade Network Advisor SMI Agent Developer's Guide 53-1002169-01
