As shown in Figure 33, the Host in the Blue Zone is named “Host 2."
1. Log the domain IDs of switches Y and Z. In this example, they are both
Domain ID 1.
Log this information in the Blue Zone_Top and Blue Zone_Bottom input form. On this
input form, list the Blue Zone in two blocks, one for switch Y in Blue Zone_Top and one
for switch Z in Blue Zone_Bottom. See Table 20 for entries.
2. Log the ports that connect to the hosts and E ports.
Figure 33 shows that “Host 2” is the host name and that there are two connections from
Host 2 to the switches. Host 2 path 2_Y is connected to port 2 of switch Y; Host 2
path 2_Z is connected to port 2 of switch Z. The E-Port is located in port 1 on both
switches Y and Z.
3. List the controller connections for the top and bottom fabrics.
Figure 33 shows that the controller pair is listed as Controller Y1_top (top controller,
port 1), and Controller Y1_bottom (bottom controller, port 1). Switch Y port 4 connects to
Controller Y1_top in the top fabric. Switch Z port 4 connects to Controller Y1_bottom in
the bottom fabric.
4. Select the Telnet session from switch A.
5. Create the alias names in the zone.
The naming convention in the example refers to Host 2_Y as the host name and path for
the connection to port 2 of switch Y. The command for this alias is:
aliCreate "Host 2_Y", "1,2"
This generates an alias named “Host 2_Y,” with a switch domain of 1 and port number 2.
6. The next alias is for Controller Y1_top:
aliCreate "Controller Y1_top", "1,4"
This generates an alias named “Controller Y1_top,” with a switch domain of 1 and port
number 4.
Because E ports cannot be zoned, an alias is not needed for domain 1 port 1.
7. Save the configuration:
cfgSave
8. The next alias to create is from switch Z. Open a Telnet session to switch B.
9. Create the Host 2_Z alias:
aliCreate "Host 2_Z", "1,2"
10. Create the controller Y1_bottom alias:
aliCreate "Controller Y1_bottom", "1,4"
11. Save the configuration:
cfgSave
This completes the alias naming for the Blue Zones. The next section configures the Red
Zones.
Example: Zoning Red Zone_Top and Red Zone_Bottom
Zoning the Red Zone portion of this example is similar to zoning the Blue and Green Zones,
with a few exceptions. See Table 21 for the sample Red Zone_Top and Red Zone_Bottom
input form.
