•To create a provisioning job for multipathing, click the button above the Host pane. Then, select the option for multipathing. When you select this option, you must select the same host for both paths. See ”Host Customize Dialog” on page 404 for more information.

•To automatically create a zone if a zone does not meet a preset criteria, click the button above the Zone pane. Then, select the option, Automatically create new zone if no existing zone containing HBA and storage system ports is detected. Select one of the options listed. See ”Zone Customize Dialog” on page 405 for more information about setting the criteria. After you set the criteria, select a host and click Step 2. If the management server finds a zone that meets the criteria, it selects the zone in the Zone pane. If the management server does not find a zone that meets the criteria, it asks for a zone name. See ”Naming Conventions for Zones” on page 402 for more information about the naming requirements for a zone. After you type a zone name, the new zone is displayed in the Zone pane, but it has not been created yet. It is created when the job runs.

•To configure zoning manually, click the button above the Zone pane. Then, deselect the option, Automatically create new zone if no existing zone containing HBA and storage system ports is detected. In the zone pane, you must select a zone or create one manually.

If you see the icon next to a host, it means the host is unreachable.
