Zoning components in HP SVSP

This section describes zoning between specific components in HP SVSP. Given the complex nature

of the HP SVSP with multiple devices and interactions, the overall zoning configuration can be difficult

to understand if presented in its entirety. By examining each type of zone and providing general

zoning templates, the material in this section can be applied to a wide range of configurations with

different devices. The following zone types will be examined in detail in this section:

• DPM-Host zone

• DPM-Storage zone

• DPM-VSM zone

• VSM-Storage zone

• VSM-VSM zone

Figure 6 illustrates a high-level view of the interaction between devices displaying the types of zones.

Each two-way arrow represents a zone type. Table 3 shows an example of zone naming conventions

for each HP SVSP zone type. Table 4 shows an example of an alias naming convention for each HP

SVSP device port type.
