Viewing the zone view
1. Click View under Zoning in the task panel.
The zone view displays (shown in Figure 35), indicating which HBAs can access which storage
devices. The HBA and storage device names displayed in the matrix are the alias names of the
devices (see “Assigning and renaming device aliases” on page 36 for additional information).

Choosing a zoning configuration
EZSwitchSetup requires you to select a zoning configuration from among the following types:
• Typical zoning
Typical zoning is a preconfigured default zoning setup that is set at the factory. It enforces the
rule of one HBA port zoned with one storage port on a single switch. Typical zoning is hard
zoning; each zone member is identified by the default switch domain (1) and a port number.
Typical zoning is set up based on fixed port usage, which means that a set of switch ports is
designated to be used as HBA (host) ports and a set of ports is designated to be used as
storage ports.
Choose Typical zoning if you have a single-switch fabric, the devices are not connected, and
you want to be guided through the device connection process.
