5.5 SAN Configuration
A pair of Cisco Nexus 5500 series were used in the configuration to connect to the Fibre Channel port of the
Cisco UCS fabric interconnect fibre channel expansion module ports to the NetApp storage Fibre Channel ports.
Single initiator zone was used to connect to the NetApp Fibre Channel ports. The SAN switch was predominantly
used for configuring boot from SAN of the XenServer server blades.
The infrastructure volumes were block based and the zoning was done to make those NetApp LUNs visible to the
infrastructure and test servers. An example SAN zone configuration is shown below on the Fabric A side:
N5K-A# sh zoneset active vsan 100
zoneset name FAB-A-XD-XS-BFS vsan 100
zone name XD-Xen-Server-1-fc0 vsan 100
