Enable hardware-enforced zoning on domain,port
zones, and WWN zones. Overlap of similar zone
types does not result in the loss of hardware
enforcement. Overlap with other zone type results in
the loss of hardware enforcement.
Connecting a device specified by WWN to a port
specified in a domain,port zone results in loss of the
hardware enforcement in both zones.
For the HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director with
an HP StorageWorks SAN Director 48 Port 4Gb FC
blade: If ports 16 through 47 on the FC4-48 port
blade use domain,port identifiers, session-based
zoning is enforced on these ports.
Use either WWN or
domain,port identifiers.
Mixed switches Enable hardware-enforced zoning according to
each switch type. To find the zone type to which a
device is attached, see ”Identifying the enforced
zone type” on page 240.
Use domain,port identifiers.
You can use WWN identifiers
if you place disk and tape
targets on HP StorageWorks
