The following dialog box is displayed.
FIGURE 104 Create an iSCSI FC zone dialog box
3. Click Yes.
The Create iSCSI Zone wizard creates a zone called “ISCSI FC ZONE,” which is not placed into a
defined configuration or automatically enabled.
4. Add the ISCSI FC ZONE into a configuration.
See “Creating zone configurations” on page 143.
Creating an iSCSI Fibre Channel zone with an effective zone
configuration
1. Launch the iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module as described on page 194.
2. Click Create iSCSI Zone.
3. Click Yes.
4. Select a configuration in the dialog box.
• If you select a non-effective configuration, the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone is added into that
configuration. The configuration will not be re-enabled and remains in the defined
configuration until you enable it. You must add the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone to the
effective configuration at a later date or iSCSI target gateway will not work.
• If you select an effective configuration, the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone is added into the
effective configuration, and then the configuration is re-enabled. This affects the entire
SAN; the zoning database must update itself, and then replicate its changes into the
fabric.
ATTENTION
Schedule your changes during a maintenance cycle if you decide to add the iSCSI Fibre Channel
zoning members to an effective configuration. Re-enabling the effective configuration affects the
entire fabric.
