Zoning
96-00290-001 Rev. A1 DataDirect Networks StorageScaler 2460 User Guide | 34
This appendix describes the various zoning configurations that are supported on the
StorageScaler 2460.
B.1 Zoning
Zoning provides the capability to assign a group of drives in the enclosure to specific ports
on the I/O controllers.
NOTE : Zoning configurations are pre-set at the factory and cannot be changed by
the user. Please contact DDN Sales if you wish to order SS2460s in specific
configurations other than the default shown below.
NOTE : When using SATA drives in these configurations, a MUX interposer card is
required for the drive to operate with dual ports.
B.2 Zoning Configuration 1 (Default)
The default zoning state for the SS2460 enclosure is a no zoning configuration. This default
configuration allows all connected hosts access to all drives in the enclosure (Figure 33).
NOTE : This configuration supports daisy-chaining enclosures (expansion).
