Q

4 – Using the SANbox SSP SAN Zoning

4.2

SAN Zoning

NOTE: If you configure your SAN zoning using Fibre Channel World Wide Port Names (WWPNs), note that SANbox SSP WWPNs begin with the hexadecimal digits 5009066. StoreAge SVM appliance WWPNs begin with 2000111.

Zoning is a SAN management technique for making the most efficient use of storage devices in the SAN. This section provides two examples of zoning.

In Figure 4-1, a single Fibre Channel switch is used to connect all storage and initiators. Zoning is used to partition the front-side initiators (HBAs) and back-side (target) storage and SVM appliances into two separate logical SANs.
