Compaq 230934-002, Switch 6 manual Naming Rules for Zone Members, Zones, and Zone Sets

MSA Fabric Switch 6 Management Utility

Zones

Zones are logical entities that represent groupings of zone members. Each zone must be assigned a unique zone name when it is defined.

Zone Sets

Zone sets are logical entities that represent groupings of zones. They define a zoning configuration. Each zone set is assigned a unique zone set name when it is defined. The MSA Fabric Switch 6 allows storing of multiple zone sets. However, only one of these zone sets can be active at a time. The other zone sets can be used as backup, trials, or other user-defined configurations.

Naming Rules for Zone Members, Zones, and Zone Sets

Zone member, zone, and zone set names must follow these rules:

•Names must be between 1 and 64 characters long

•Characters used in names must be 7 bit ASCII characters

•The first character of a name must be a letter (a-z) and can be either upper case or lower case

•Other characters of the name (any characters besides the first character) can be a letter (a-z, either upper or lower case), a number (0-9), or a symbol ($ - ^ _).
