Chapter 3. Implementing the INRANGE FC/9000 Fibre Channel Director 245
The scenario illustrated in Figure 3-58 describes a possible layout.
Figure 3-58 INRANGE fabric scenario with hard zoning and name server zoning
In this layout:
򐂰 All three defined name server zones are within Hard Zone A. They cannot
span over to Hard Zone B.
򐂰 Name server zone A_1 and A_2 are overlapping. Both have an ESS node as
a member.
򐂰 All members of name server zones can only access other members within the
same Name server zone.
򐂰 All remaining nodes in Hard Zone A which are not part of any name server
zone are part of the orphan zone. This allows communication between these
three nodes.
򐂰 There is no name server zone at all in Hard Zone B. All members can have
access to any other member in Hard Zone B since they are put into the
orphan zone. However, this orphan zone is limited to Hard Zone B.
