LSAN zoning

LSAN zoning is available only for backbone fabrics and any directly connected edge fabrics. A

backbone fabric is a fabric that contains an FC router. All discovered backbone fabrics have the

prefix LSAN_ in their fabric name, which is listed in the Zoning Scope list.

Configuring LSAN zoning

The following procedure provides an overview of the steps you must perform to configure LSAN

zoning.

Note that for any zoning-related procedure, changes to a zone database are not saved until you

click OK or Apply on the Zoning dialog box.

1. Select a backbone fabric from the Connectivity Map or Product List.

2. Select Configure > Zoning > LSAN Zoning (Device Sharing).

The Zoning dialog box displays.

3. Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.

4. If you want to show all edge fabrics in your backbone fabric in the Potential Members list,

right-click a device and select Table > Expand All.

5. Create the LSAN zones.

For specific instructions, refer to “Creating a new LSAN zone” on page 629.
