Zoning in the Storage Area Network
201Data Replication Manager HSG80 ACS Version 8.7P Configuration Guide
Table 22 shows zoning using the Domain ID number and Port number, rather than the WWID
number. The WWID could also have been used. A general rule is that if you are changing
connections within the DRM, use the WWID for zoning. If you are changing out hardware,
use the Domain ID and Port number. The zoning procedure follows.
1. Identify and record the Domain ID of each switch. To get this information, use the
switchShow command from each switch in a Telnet session or from the front console of
each switch. The example in Figure 35 shows that switches A and B both have a Domain
of 0.
After recording this information on a blank template form, give it the zone name “Yellow
Zone_Top.” On the form, list the Yellow Zone in two blocks, one for switch A in Yellow
Zone_Top and one for switch B in Yellow Zone_Bottom (see Table 22).
2. Record the ports that connect to the hosts and E ports.
Figure 35 shows that “Host 3” is the host name and there are two connections from Host 3
to the switches. Host 3 path 3_A is connected to port 8 of switch A; Host 3 path 3_B is
connected to port 8 of switch B. The E-Port is located in port 1 of both switches A and B.
3. List the controller connections for the top and bottom fabrics.
In Figure 35, the controller pair is listed as Controller A1_top (top controller, port 1) and
Controller A1_bottom (bottom controller, port 1). Switch A, port 4 connects to Controller
A1_top in the top fabric. Switch B, port 4 connects to Controller A1_bottom in the bottom
fabric.
4. Open a Telnet session to switch A.
5. Create the alias names in the zone. The naming convention in the example refers to
Host 3_A as the host name and path used for the connection to port 8 of switch A. The
command for this alias is:
aliCreate “Host 3_A”, “0,8”
This command creates an alias named “Host 3_A” with switch domain 0 and port
number 8.
Note: Be sure to issue all aliCreate, ZoneAdd, and CfgAdd commands from a switch within
the fabric for which the alias is being created. For example, issue commands from switch A for the
top fabric and from switch B for the bottom fabric.
The controller alias “Controller A1_Top” has already been created and does not need to be
repeated. Because E ports cannot be zoned, an alias is not needed for domain 0, port 1 on
switch A.
6. Save the configuration:
cfgSave
Note: HP recommends that you issue a cfgShow command after every cfgSave and verify
the previous commands.
7. The next alias to create is from switch B. Open a Telnet session to switch B.
8. Create the Host 3_B alias with the command:
aliCreate “Host 3_B”, “0,8”
