Figure 35: DRM example showing the new zones
The following sections contain the process that creates the zoning configuration illustrated in
Figure 35. 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. Zoning the top fabric initiator site (designated “Yellow Zone_Top”)
2. Zoning the top fabric target site (designated “Brown Zone_Top”)
3. Zoning the two zones for the bottom fabric.
Two examples follow that illustrate these zoning concepts.
