EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT The switch is capable of up to twelve zones. Initially, all ports reside in Zone 0. However, a port will clear from Zone 0 whenever it is selected and placed in another zone. The color of each zone indicates its status. See the descriptions in the following table: Color Description Down (red) One or more ports have been selected, zoning has been activated, but hardware has caused a failure.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT Single-Switch Zoning The simplest zoning configuration is to place each port into a single zone, so that zones are separate from each other as shown in Figure 3-13. Figure 3-13: Devices in a Single Zone In Figure 3-13, zone 1 includes ports 1, 3, and 4, while zone 2 includes ports 2 and 5.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT Adding Devices to Multiple Zones In the previous example, each host only communicates with the devices in the same zone as the host. However, there may be situations in which hosts in separate zones need to share devices. When this situation occurs, use overlapping zones to share the devices between the hosts. Figure 3-15 depicts this type of zoning configuration.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT Multiple Switch Zoning Zones can be configured across multiple switches using a similar procedure to a single switch. However, multiple-switch zoning requires some coordination between the switches. Note: To ensure zone integrity when configuring multiple switch zoning, you must implement AL_PA zoning through the Command Line Interface (CLI). See “AL_PA Zoning” on page 39 for additional information.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT 3. Ensure that the Zoning Active check box is selected for both switches. Caution: Clearing the Zoning Active check box will deactivate all zones, which may degrade system performance or compromise security. 4. After making changes, click Submit. AL_PA Zoning AL_PA zoning is a specific zoning configuration that prevents devices from accessing one another.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT Connecting Ports Through Hard Zoning A Hard Zone can be used to add a separate 126 AL_PAs that operate in isolation from any other zone. A Hard Zone disables switching functionality and creates a shared connection between the ports in a zone topology, splitting the switch into multiple unique FC-AL zones. When Hard Zoning is enabled, all switch zones must be Hard Zones.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT Cascading Switches When multiple switches are connected, the connecting links between the switches are referred to as “cascades”. There are two distinct cascade configurations to consider when configuring networks for optimal performance and connectivity: string cascades and tree cascades. String Cascades A string cascade connects multiple switches (up to three switches maximum) together in a “daisychained” configuration.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT Automatic Trunking Multiple links between switches are called “trunks”. Trunks provide higher bandwidth across cascaded switches for systems incorporating multiple initiators. Each trunk can improve system throughput and provide “failover” capability. A maximum of 4 trunks between each switch is supported. Trunking is performed automatically when ports are configured properly. Figure 3-22 is an example of Automatic Trunking.
EMULEX MODEL 355 SAN STORAGE SWITCH USER ’S GUIDE CHAPTER 3: SWITCH MANAGEMENT To assign ports to trunk groups: 1. Click Advanced Functions > Automatic Trunking. The Automatic Trunking page appears.
