Some HBAs and storage devices can be configured with dual initiator and target capability. Such devices are displayed as both HBA and storage devices in the matrix.

Editing the zoning configuration

You can customize which HBAs can access which storage devices by clicking Edit in the Zoning task panel. This starts a wizard that creates a new Custom Zoning scheme based on your device accessibility choices.

If you make any zoning changes to the default Typical Zoning configuration, you will be creating a Custom Zoning configuration to replace it. You can later restore the Typical Zoning configuration by clicking Restore Default Typical Zoning in the task panel.

1.Click Edit under Zoning in the task panel.

A wizard launches, briefly displaying the Zone Access Map for Devices.

A Review Device Connections screen displays device connections, over the Zone Access Map for Devices. Check to be sure all connected devices are present and recognized by the switch.

2.Click Next.

The Define Device Aliases screen is displayed.

3.Add or modify aliases in the New Alias column.

4.Click Next.

The Edit HBA/Storage Accessibility Matrix is displayed.

If no devices are connected to the switch, or if only storage devices or only HBAs are connected, then the Switch Manager displays a message and the Edit HBA/Storage Accessibility Matrix does not launch.
