·
Identify the nodes on initiator & targets
which are to be zoned.
·
Log in to FC switch
·
Check nodes were login in the FC switch or not
o
Get the WWN number from initiator by using host
agent software or using fcshow on cmd
o
To get
the target WWN, On target gui management software Unisphere, go to settings
->
o
Check these both WWN numbers on FC switch by
using command Switchshow
o
Also use another command nodefind [wwn no.]
·
Then create meaning full alias names for WWN of
both initiator & target.
o
Observe alias names if already there on nodefind
command.
o
If there are, no need to create new one.
o
To create new alias name use the command alicreate
alias_name wwn
o
To show all alias names use the command alishow
o
To remove alias names use the command aliremove
·
Create the required number of zones
o
Syntax is
o
zonecreate “zone_name”,”alias_name_of_initiator;alias_name_of_target”
o
Give the easily identifiable zone name
o
Double quotes, camas and semi colans are must
o
To see the created zones use zoneshow
·
Then add these zones to active configuration
file
o
To know the active configuration file use cfgactiv
o
Adding to zones active/normal config file cfgadd
“cfg_file_name”,”zone1;zone2;etc”
·
Then save this configuration using cfgsave
·
Then enable the active configuration file(which
is zone added on previous) using command cfgenable “config_filename”
·
Removing zones from any config files cfgremove
“cfg_file_name”,”zone_name”
·
Delete zones zonedelete “zone_1”
·
Delete alias alidelete “alias_name”
Zone Status:
·
If successfully zoned between nodes of initiator
and target
o
We can find the wwn numbers of host on the
“connectivity status” window
§
Main menu -> Hosts -> connectivity status
o
If any host agent is installed on the initiator,
we will find Initiator’s “Host Name” on the connectivity status
Terminology:
Host: server; target: storage;
