Overview of iSCSI FC zoning

FIGURE 9 iSCSI gateway service in an iSCSI FC zone

If default zoning is set to No Access, you must create an iSCSI FC zone so that the devices can talk

to each other.

If default zoning is set to All Access with no effective zone configuration, then you can create an

iSCSI FC zone and add it to a defined configuration, but you do not need to enable the defined

configuration. In this case, all devices can talk to each other already. However, to avoid future

congestion in the SAN, you should implement a zoning plan for the devices.

When you execute the cfgClear or cfgDisable commands, discovery domains and discovery domain

sets are not deleted.

For more information on configuring a zone, see “Creating and Maintaining Zones” in the Fabric OS

Administrator’s Guide.

If you decide to start zoning the devices, you must create zones for all the devices in the SAN or you

will not be able to access the devices that are not in a zone.
