Moving zone groups
In some circumstances you may need to move zone groups from one server (origin) to a different
server (destination). For example:
• Server or other device failure requiring movement of zone groups to a different server
• Server profile move
Moving zone groups—zoned SAS storage enclosures
When using zoned SAS storage enclosures, do the following to move zone groups from one server
(original server device bay) to a different server (destination server device bay):
1. Open Virtual SAS Manager (VSM).
2. Identify all zone group assignments for the original server device bay.
a. In the navigation tree, select the original server device bay and click Modify Zone Access.
• Zone groups assigned to the server device bay are displayed, indicated with a check.
• All available, unassigned zone groups are displayed, but without a check.
b. Record the names of all zone groups assigned to the original server device bay (zone
groups with checks).
3. Stop all I/O associated with those zone groups and servers. Then, power off all of the
associated servers.
4. In the VSM navigation tree, select the original server device bay and click Modify Zone Access.
Clear the check next to each zone group to remove access to the zone group. Click Save
Changes when done.
5. Assign the zone groups to the destination server device bay.
a. In the navigation tree, select the destination server device bay and click Modify Zone
Access.
• If the server device bay has any zone groups assigned, they are displayed.
• In addition, all available, unassigned zone groups are displayed, including the zone
groups made available in step 2.
b. Check each zone group that needs to be assigned to this destination server device bay.
Click Save Changes when done.
6. Power on each server and resume I/O.
7. Back up the configuration to an FTP server. (Strongly recommended)
