Keep in mind the following:
• You can narrow the type of volumes displayed in the Volumes pane by using the Volume

3. If you are asked to specify a LUN number, provide a LUN for each volume displayed. See
”Providing a LUN Number” on page 439 for information about numbering LUNs.
Step 4 - Select a Host Security Group
1. Select a host security group. See ”Creating a Host Security Group” on page 442 for
information on how to create a host security group. See ”General Provisioning Issues” on

Step 5 - Select a Zone
NOTE: If the zone has already been selected and Step 5 is clicked, skip this step or click the
button to clear the selection.
If you do not have a zone selected or you do not have one created yet, most likely the option,
Automatically Configure Zoning, is not selected in the Zone Customize Dialog ( ). The
management server assumes you want to select a pre-existing zone or create one manually when
you deselect the Automatically Configure Zoning option.
• To reuse a zone - Select a zone in the Zone pane and then click Step 5. Expand a fabric
node to view its zones.
• To create a zone - Select a fabric in the zone pane, click the button, type a zone name.
