SAN zoning example

Simple way to zoning
----------------------
For server Host1 , storage EMC and tape Tape for Dual  new fabric .

Name server zoning

Fabric-1
----
>alicreate"Host1_HBA1", "wwn of Host1 HBA1"
>alicreate"Host1_HBA3", "wwn of Host1 HBA3"
>alicreate"EMC_CNTLA", "wwn of EMC cntl A"
>alicreate"Tape_TAPE1", "wwn of Tape tape1"
>zonecreate"Host1_EMC", "Host1_HBA1; EMC_CNTLA"
>zonecreate "Host1_TAPE", "Host1_HBA3; Tape_TAPE1"
>cfgcreate "CFG1","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"(if you are creating brand new Fabric)or
>cfgadd "CFG1","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"( if you have already created config file)
>cfgsave
>cfgenable "CFG1"
Fabric-2
------
>alicreate"Host1_HBA2", "wwn of Host1 HBA2"
>alicreate"Host1_HBA4", "wwn of Host1 HBA4"
>alicreate"EMC_CNTLB", "wwn of EMC cntl B"
>alicreate"Tape_TAPE2", "wwn of Tape tape2"
>zonecreate"Host1_EMC", "Host1_HBA2; EMC_CNTLB"
>zonecreate "Host1_TAPE", "Host1_HBA4; Tape_TAPE2"
>cfgcreate "CFG2","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"(if you are creating brand new Fabric)or
>cfgadd "CFG2","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"( if you have already created config file)
>cfgsave
>cfgenable "CFG2"

Portbased zoning:
Fabric-1
----
>zonecreate"Host1_EMC", "5,1; 5,2"( 5 is the domain ID of the SW, 1 is the port no of HBA, 2 is the port no of storage contl)
>zonecreate "Host1_TAPE", "5,1; 5,3"( 5 is the domain ID of the SW, 1 is the port no of HBA, 2 is the port no of tape)
>cfgcreate "CFG1","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"(if you are creating brand new Fabric)or
>cfgadd "CFG1","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"( if you have already created config file)
>cfgsave
>cfgenable "CFG1"
Fabric-2
------
>zonecreate"Host1_EMC", "6,1; 6,2"( 6 is the domain ID of the SW, 1 is the port no of HBA, 2 is the port no of storage contl)
>zonecreate "Host1_TAPE", "6,1; 6,3"( 6 is the domain ID of the SW, 1 is the port no of HBA, 2 is the port no of tape)
>cfgcreate "CFG2","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"(if you are creating brand new Fabric)or
>cfgadd "CFG2","Host1_EMC; Host1_TAPE"( if you have already created config file)
>cfgsave
>cfgenable "CFG2"

Best Practice:
Always use single initiator to single target zone , in case of tape drives
never make single initiator to more than 5 target zones.

To add a new HBA's wwn  if Host1_HBA1 is bad:

>aliadd "Host1_HBA1", "wwn of the new HBA"
>aliremove "Host1_HBA1", "wwn of the old HBA"
>cfgsave
>cfgenbale "CFG1"

To add/remove a member from the zone

>zoneadd "zone name", " member alias"
>zoneremove "zone name", " member alias"
>cfgsave
>cfgenable "CFG1"

To delete "Host1_TAPE" zone from Fab-1

>zonedelete "Host1_TAPE"
>cfgremove "CFG1", "Host1_TAPE"
>cfgsave
>cfgenable "CFG1"
