• Port Type-Shows the type of port; for example, HBA or RAID storage. • Vendor-Attached device manufacturer name; for example, Hewlett Packard. 2. When you finish viewing the switch zoning information, click OK to close the dialog box. Setting the switch default zoning CAUTION: Altering the active zoning configuration can disrupt SAN traffic. A zone is a named group of ports or devices. Members of the same zone can communicate with each other and transmit outside the zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone. Zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic. Based on the HBA and storage ports connected to the switch, Simple SAN Connection Manager can set the switch zoning to an HBA-based zoning scheme where each HBA is in its own zone along with all the storage ports. Use the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box to set a default zone and include or exclude a device from a zone. NOTE: When the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box first opens, all the devices are included in zones. To set the switch default zoning: 1. From the HBA & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch HBA-based Default Zoning. If the switch already has an active zoning setup, a message box asks if you want to remove and replace existing zoning with the default HBA-based zoning and advises you to carefully review the current active zoning. Be aware that modifying zoning can disrupt SAN traffic. 2. To close the message box and continue, click Yes. To cancel switch default zoning setup, click No. The Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box (Figure 28) opens. 52 Managing switches

Setting the switch default zoning
CAUTION:
Altering the active zoning configuration can disrupt SAN traffic.
A
zone
is a named group of ports or devices. Members of the same zone can communicate with each
other and transmit outside the zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone. Zoning
divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic.
Based on the HBA and storage ports connected to the switch, Simple SAN Connection Manager can set
the switch zoning to an HBA-based zoning scheme where each HBA is in its own zone along with all the
storage ports.
Use the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box to set a default zone and include or exclude a device
from a zone.
NOTE:
When the Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box first opens, all the devices are included in
zones.
To set the switch default zoning:
1.
From the HBA & Switch Management menu, click
Set Switch HBA-based Default Zoning
.
If the switch already has an active zoning setup, a message box asks if you want to remove and
replace existing zoning with the default HBA-based zoning and advises you to carefully review the
current active zoning. Be aware that modifying zoning can disrupt SAN traffic.
2.
To close the message box and continue, click
Yes
. To cancel switch default zoning setup, click
No
.
The Set the Switch Default Zoning dialog box (
Figure 28
) opens.
