If zone configuration not exist then please run the below command to create a zone configuration which will consist zones that we have created recently.īarcode01:admin> cfgcreate "fabric_A", "zone01" Once zone is created, add it to an active configuration or a new configuration by running either the cfgadd command or cfgcreate. To verify run command, zoneshow “zone01”. Now we are going to create two zones with two aliases.īarcode01:admin> zonecreate zone01,'hostname_port1 storage_port01' To verify run command, alishow “hostname_port1”. In below step we will create a new alias for above WWPN number as it is very difficult to remember this WWPN number during zoning.īarcode01:admin> alicreate hostname_port1,"90:XX:XX:99:XX:XX:cf:XX" We will use this WWPN of the connecting device to zone with another. The 90:XX:XX:99:XX:XX:cf:XX is the WWPN of the device connecting in that port. Output of this command will provide below output. This command will help you to identify the HBA address of both the target and initiator ports which will be required for SAN Zoning configuration. This binding is called zoning and it manages communication of hosts and storage nodes. The idea is to bind WWPN’s of intended devices (ports) together. We can identify devices in FC using WWNN or WWPN. SAN zoning is a method to manages communication of hosts and storage nodes.Įach device in a Fiber Channel will have a unique Word Wide Name (WWN).
