Zoning in the Storage Area Network

This ensures the effective configuration of the switches after a restart or power-down.
6. Select the Telnet session from switch B.
7. Create the configuration using “Bottom_Fabric” as the filename and add all of the zone
members. The command is:
cfgCreate "Bottom_Fabric", "Green Zone_Bottom; Blue Zone_Bottom;
Red Zone_Bottom"
This creates a configuration file titled “Bottom_Fabric,” which contains Green
Zone_Bottom, Blue Zone_Bottom, Red Zone_Bottom, and their alias members. these are
stored in flash memory for switches B and Z.
8. Save the configuration:
cfgSave
9. Enable the new zone configuration with the following command:
cfgEnable "Bottom_Fabric"
This now becomes the effective (in use) configuration for both switches B and Z.
10. To make this the active configuration after a restart or power-down, issue one final
cfgSave command:
cfgSave
This ensures the effective configuration of the switches after a restart or power-down.
Zoning for a DRM homogeneous configuration is now complete.
DRM Heterogeneous Configuration
A DRM heterogeneous configuration consists of multiple operating systems sharing the same
pair of storage arrays. A DRM heterogeneous configuration can be created from a DRM
homogeneous configuration. This is done by adding zones that consist of new servers or
clusters of a different operating system type from those in the original DRM homogeneous
configuration. These new zones share the same storage arrays and isolate the additional
operating system from the original operating system.
This section shows the steps to add zones from a DRM homogeneous configuration to create a
DRM heterogeneous configuration. These same steps can be applied to an existing DRM
heterogeneous configuration to add a new operating system.
If you are adding new zones to an existing DRM configuration, read from the beginning of this
section, Zoning a DRM Configuration‚ page 185. This will help you understand the
configuration examples and naming conventions. Figure 34 shows the additional four zones
created. These zones are named, for this example, “Yellow Zone_Top” and “Yellow
Zone_Bottom” (for the initiator site); “Brown Zone_Top” and “Brown Zone_Bottom” (for the
target site). Use Figure 32 along with Figure 34 to picture the zoning scheme of a DRM
heterogeneous configuration.
