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 Submit.
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.
