Fibre Channel Zoning Information

For a storage system with Fibre Channel front-end ports, record the physical and virtual WWNs of the Fibre Channel ports in Fault Domain 1 and Fault Domain 2. This information is displayed on the Review Front-End page of the Discover and Configure Uninitialized SCv2000 Series Storage Centers wizard. Use this information to configure zoning on each Fibre Channel switch.

See the Dell Storage Center SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Deployment Guide for information about setting up Fibre Channel zoning.

SCv2000, SCv2020 specifications

The Dell SCv2020 and SCv2000 storage arrays are part of the Dell Storage SC Series, designed to deliver high performance and scalability for various storage needs in enterprise environments. These storage solutions cater to businesses looking to enhance their data management while ensuring cost-effectiveness and ease of use.
