Fabric Zoning ■ The connection is bound to a storage port WWN. If the fiber optic cable is disconnected from the storage port, the server-to-storage connection is automatically reestablished when the port cable is reconnected. The connection is also automatically reestablished if the storage port is cabled through a different managed product port. Access can also be controlled at the storage device as an addition or enhancement to redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller software. Data access is controlled within the storage device, and server HBA access to each LUN is explicitly limited (access is blocked by default). Storage-level access control: ■ Provides control at the storage port and LUN level, and does not require configuration at the server. ■ Is typically proprietary and protects only a specific vendor's storage devices. Storage-level access control may not be available for many legacy devices. Note: Refer to the HP professional services organization before establishing persistent binding and when establishing access control features at the storage device. Zoning Concepts Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device ports that attach to product ports. A zone member is specified by the number of the product port to which a device is attached, or by the 8-byte World Wide Name assigned to the host bus adapter or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device port can belong to multiple zones. Zoning concepts include: ■ Zones ■ Default Zone ■ Zone Sets ■ Zone Library ■ Active Zone Set 136 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
