Figure 33: Zoning a DRM example
Figure 33 shows a zoned example for a Data Replication Manager configuration. The steps
required to produce this zoning configuration are on the following pages. Because multiple
configurations can be created and saved, the one currently in use is known as the effective
configuration. The process to create and save an effective configuration that ensures the
switches are enabled after reboot or shutdown, includes the following:
1. Begin by zoning the top fabric initiator site (designated in the example as Green
Zone_Top).
2. Zone the top fabric target site (designated as Blue Zone_Top).
3. Zone the remote copy sets or paths for the top fabric (designated as
Red Zone_Top).
4. Zone the three zones for the bottom fabric.
The next three examples illustrate these zoning practices.
