6. To set policy monitors for fabrics, select the Fabric Checks tab and complete the following
steps.
a. Select the Check zoning status check box to determine if zoning is enabled or disabled on
the fabric.
• Select the Enabled option to determine if zoning is enabled.
• Select the Disabled option to determine if zoning is disabled.
For more information about this check and a fix for rule violations, refer to “Fabric policy

b. Select the Check that all zones belong to at least one zone config check box to determine
if there are orphaned zones in the fabric zone database.

c. Select the Check the number of initiator ports zoned to each storage port check box to
determine the total number of initiator ports zoned to each storage port.

The default recommended threshold ratio is 20:1 (20 initiator ports to 1 target port).
Therefore, if the ratio for the storage port is equal to or higher than 20:1, the policy
monitor considers it as a violation and logs it in the report.
