Configuring Zoning

CAUTION

Be careful when changing Diamond-VT zoning configurations. Internal validation logic cannot detect misconfigurations

An unrestricted zone configuration, exactly mimicking the LUN configuration, is created internally after the first power-up or restart after installation of the Diamond-VT. No special operating modes are required and Zoning can be easily installed with no impact on previous configurations. The unrestricted zone can be considered an all/all/all zone: all hosts, all ports and all devices.

Examples of initial configurations are available in Sample Zoning Command Sequences in the Appendix on page ix.

To create a zone

1The Diamond-VT must be configured to the appropriate QuickRAID configuration before applying the Zoning configuration.

Note

Interpretation of the Zoning command is a single forward pass, so any entities referenced in any command must have been previously defined or you will receive an error message.

2Type ZoneInfo Planned to determine the status of a Planned Zone Configuration.

3Type ZoneInfo to determine the status of an Active Zone Configuration.

4If you want to start fresh and create zones without reference to the definitions in the current Active Zone Configuration, type ZoneClearAll to remove all entries from the Planned zone definition table.

5Create a new named zone. Type

ZoneCreate zone_name

6Add the devices, hosts and ports you want to include in the zone.

ZoneAddDevice zone_name device_lun ZoneAddHost zone_name host_name ZoneAddPorts zone_name port_number

7 Enable the zone, type

ZoneState zone_name enabled

8Type ZoneCommit to make this Planned Zone Configuration the Active Zone Configuration.

See Sample Zoning Command Sequences in the Appendix on page ix.

If the Diamond pauses operation by using a queue while a ZoneCommit command is executing

1The Diamond-VT completes any in-process I/O requests received before the ZoneCommit command was issued

2The array performs the zoning changes

3The array resumes I/O operations.

To remove zones

1 Remove the named zone. Type

ZoneRemove zone_name

2Type ZoneCommit to commit this Planned Zone Configuration to become the Active Zone Configuration.

To change current zones

CAUTION

Be careful when changing Diamond-VT zoning configurations. Internal validation logic cannot detect misconfigurations

3Type ZoneInfo Planned to determine the status of a Planned Zone Configuration.

4Type ZoneInfo to determine the status of an Active Zone Configuration.

5If necessary, type ZoneRetrieve to overwrite the Planned configuration with the current Active configuration.

6Create or delete named zones as outlined above.

7Add or delete devices, hosts and ports as outlined above.

8Type ZoneCommit to make this Planned Zone Configuration the Active Zone Configuration.

Other operations

• To disable a zone, type

ZoneState zone_name disabled

•To clear the Planned Zone Configuration of all entries, type

ZoneClear All

•To restore the Diamond-VT to factory default, type

ZoneClearAll

ZoneCommit
