System Requirements and Compatibility

Compatibility with other Products

Fabric OS version 3.0.1b or later can be installed and run on the FC Entry Switch 8B, FC Switch

8B, and FC 16B products.

The FC Entry Switch 8B, FC Switch 8B, and the FC 16B switch running Fabric OS version 3.0.1b

or later can operate in the same fabric with the HP Brocade 2400/2800 and FC 6164 switches

running the a2.4.1 or later versions of Fabric OS.

For more information about configuring FC Entry Switch 8B, FC Switch 8B, FC 16B, HP Brocade

2400/2800, and FC 6164 products to operate in the same fabric, contact your switch supplier.

Zoning User’s Guide 1-1

Chapter

Introducing Zoning

Zoning allows you to partition your Storage Area Network (SAN) into logical groupings of devices

that can access each other. Using Zoning, you can arrange fabric-connected devices into logical

groups, or zones, over the physical configuration of the fabric.

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. This chapter discusses the following Zoning topics:

•Administering Security on page 1-1

•Customizing Environments on page 1-1

•Optimizing IT Resources on page 1-1

•Implementing Zoning on page 1-2

Note: Zoning for interoperability is described in Merging Heterogeneous Fabrics Instructions,

which is available on the HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Switch 16B Documentation CD

(A7340-11001) and the HP Surestore FC 1Gb/2Gb Entry Switch 8B and FC 1Gb/2Gb

Switch 8B Documentation CD (A7346-11001).

Administering Security

Use zones to provide controlled access to fabric segments and to establish barriers between

operating environments. For example, isolate systems with different uses or protect systems in a

heterogeneous environment.

Customizing Environments

Use zones to create logical subsets of the fabric to accommodate closed user groups or to create

functional areas within the fabric. For example, include selected devices within a zone for the

exclusive use of zone members, or create separate test or maintenance areas within the fabric.

Optimizing IT Resources

Use zones to consolidate equipment, logically, for IT efficiency, or to facilitate time-sensitive

functions. For example, create a temporary zone to back up non-member devices.

1-2 Zoning User’s Guide

Introducing Zoning

Figure 1-1 below illustrates three zones with some overlap. It also contains devices that are not

assigned to a zone, and are thus not active in the fabric if Zoning is enabled.

Figure 1-1 Fabric with Three Zones

Implementing Zoning

Implementing Zoning simplifies the zoning process in the following ways:

•You can administer Zoning from any switch in the fabric. Configuration changes made to one

switch are automatically replicated to all switches in the fabric.

•Zones can be configured dynamically. When configuring new zones:

•Data traffic on ports and devices is idle for a moment, then resumes according to the new

zoning configuration. With hardware WWN zoning and port zoning, Windows NT ports

may need to be rebooted to access new devices. With HP-UX, a new disc scan may need

to be performed if the zone is altered.

•Data traffic across interswitch links (ISLs) in cascaded switch configurations is not

affected.

•Zoning uses policy-based administration. Because Zoning uses policy-based administration —

separating zone specification from zone enforcement — you can manage multiple zone

configurations and easily enable a specific configuration when it is required. A fabric can store

any number of zone configurations; however, only one configuration is active at a time.

Because the configurations are pre-determined and stored, a new configuration can be easily

enabled.

•Zoning can be configured and administered with either telnet commands or Web Tools.

For information on telnet commands, see the Fabric OS Reference Guide. For information on Web

Tools, see the Web Tools User’s Guide.
