displayed.:
• Host data Loaded.

Keep in mind the following:
• To create a provisioning job for multipathing, click the button above the Host pane, and
then select the option for multipathing. When you select this option, you must select the same

• To automatically create a zone if a zone does not meet a preset criteria:

storage system ports is detected.
c. Set the criteria. See ”Customize Zone Options Dialog Box” on page 633 for more
information about setting the criteria.

• If the management server finds a zone that meets the criteria, it selects the zone in the
Zone pane.
• If the management server does not find a zone that meets the criteria, it asks for a zone
name. See ”Naming Conventions” on page 630 for more information about the naming
requirements for a zone. After you enter a zone name, the new zone is displayed in the
Zone pane, but it will not actually be created until the job runs.
• To configure zoning manually, click the button above the Zone pane, and then deselect
the option, Automatically create new zone if no existing zone containing HBA and storage
system ports is detected. In the zone pane, select a zone or create one manually.
