[Brocade] SAN Zoning - CLI

PDFPrintE-mail

Here we will talk about configure zoning in dural fabric environment, zoning can be soft zoning or hard zoning(Hard Port Zoning).

Soft Zoning: This type of zoning is based on WWNs and enforced by the NameSever
Hard (Port) Zoning: This type of zoning is based on Domain ID & Port Number

Here is the syntax of creating zoning:
zoneCreate "zone1", "1,2", "1,3"
zoneCreate "zone2", "wwn2", "wwn3"


Below is any example that we are to setup SRV01(dual HBA in dual fabric environment)to SAN connect to Clariion CX4 storage.
