To add storage devices to multiple zones:
1.
Select the appropriate zones for each port.
2.
Ensure that the Zoning Active check box is selected.
3.
Click

.
Multiple Switch Zoning
While not common in embedded storage systems, zoning can also be configured across multiple
switches. The procedure is the same as on a single switch; however, multiple-switch zoning requires
some coordination between the switches.
To configure multiple-switch zoning, do the following for each switch:
1.
Plan which ports should belong in each zone.
2.
From the One-Step Zoning page, select the appropriate ports for each zone.
3.
Ensure that the Zoning Active check box is selected for both switches.
4.
After making changes, click
Submit
.
Note:
To ensure zone integrity when configuring multiple switch zoning, you must implement AL_PA
zoning through the Command Line Interface (CLI). See “AL_PA Zoning” on page 43 for additional
information.
Caution:
Clearing the
Zoning Active
check box will deactivate all zones, which may degrade
system performance or compromise security.
