Introducing zoning
Zoning enables you to partition a storage area network (SAN) into logical groups of devices that can
access each other. For example, you can partition a SAN into two zones, winzone and unixzone, so
that the Windows servers and storage do not interact with UNIX servers and storage.
Zones can be configured dynamically. They can vary in size, depending on the number of
fabric-connected devices, and devices can belong to more than one zone. Because zone members
can access only other members of the same zone, a device not included in a zone is not available
to members of that zone.
When using a mixed fabric—that is, a fabric containing two or more switches running different
fabric operating systems—you should use the switch with the highest Fabric OS level to perform
zoning tasks. See “Best practices for zoning” on page 119 for more recommendations about
zoning.
When zone or Fabric Assist (FA) zone members are specified by fabric location only (domain, area),
or by device name only (node name or port WWN), zone boundaries are enforced at the hardware
level and the zone is referred to as a “hard zone.”
When zone members are specified by fabric location (domain, area) and other members of the
same zone are specified by device name (node name or port WWN), zone enforcement depends on
Name Server lookups, and the zone is referred to as a “soft zone.”
For more specific information about zoning concepts, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
