Issues for Sun StorEdge and QLogic SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) switches:

•Active zoning is not reported for Sun StorEdge and QLogic switches that have the SNMPv1 Agent. Switches that do report active zoning, do not supply information about inactive zones to the management server.

•If a zone alias for a Sun StorEdge or QLogic switch is a member of an active zone, the zone alias is not shown in the user interface, but its members are displayed as belonging to the active zone.

Issues for Cisco SNMP and SMI-S(Storage Management Initiative Specification) switches:

•The management server groups active zone sets in all Virtual SANs (VSANs) in a fabric into a zone set called “ACTIVE”, and the “ACTIVE” zone set is shown associated with the physical fabric. The members of the “ACTIVE” zone set (zones, zone sets, zone aliases) have the name of the VSAN prefixed to their name. For example, an active zone named “ZONE1” from a VSAN named “VSAN1” is displayed as a zone on the physical fabric with name “VSAN1:ZONE1”.

Cisco SMI-Sswitches:

•You can view and create zones, zone sets and zone aliases on a Cisco SMI-S switch. Cisco SNMP switches:

•You can view zones, zone sets and zone aliases on a Cisco SNMP switch; however, you cannot use the management server to create, modify or remove them from a Cisco switch.
