Implementing SAN Internetworking Solutions 4 c. Port zoning can be confusing in a multi-vendor environment because OEMs implement zoning in different ways. When zoning with vendor-specific SAN management applications, zone through port WWNs, not node (device) WWNs. d. Ensure devices are physically connected before importing their node (device) WWNs to a router. If a fabric port is port-zoned with nothing connected to the port, the zone member is invisible to the router until a device is connected to the port and explicitly imported to the router. If a device is disconnected or reconnected to a port-zoned fabric port, a zone update is not generated at a remote fabric (to remove the associated WWN-zoned device). e. If router-attached directors and fabric switches have zoning licences and the zone policy is set to Append IPS Zones at the SANvergence Manager application, all zone licences must be enabled. f. If router-attached directors and fabric switches have zoning licences and the zone policy is set to No Zone Synchronization at the SANvergence Manager application, some fabric elements may be able to operate with the zone licences disabled. Operation is vendor-specific. g. When a device is zoned through the router CLI or SANvergence Manager application, the device is visible to all router-attached fabrics. When a device is zoned through a Fibre Channel SAN management application, the device is invisible to remote fabrics. h. Some vendor-specific SAN management applications cannot display devices outside the local fabric. In such a case, the zone policy must be set to Append IPS Zones at the SANvergence Manager application. 15. Feature conflicts - SAN routers cannot attach to McDATA fabrics with the SANtegrity Binding feature (including both fabric binding and switch binding), OpenTrunking feature, or Enterprise Fabric Mode enabled. These features must be disabled before connecting the router. In addition, SAN routers do not support FICON cascading or FICON routing. Implementing SAN Internetworking Solutions 4-35
