Zoning example When you deploy an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, you need each server in the enclosure to have its own dedicated disks. The servers in the enclosure need more capacity than an HP StorageWorks SB40c Storage Blade can provide. Zoning can solve this problem. Figure 11 shows how you can use a direct-connect, zoned solution using the StorageWorks MDS600, an external direct attached storage enclosure that holds up to 70 disk drives. Zoning creates drive subsets in the MDS600 and associates each subset with individual servers so they appear as local storage.
