92 Continuous Access and Data Replication Manager SAN Extensions Reference Guide
The HBA zones are configured similarly to the steps used in setting up the PPRC
zones, with the most significant difference being the selection of the Zone IDs.
1. Choose New Zone from the menu bar of the Zone Configuration window. You
are prompted to name the zone and select a Zone ID. Name this new zone
with a label that is descriptive of the member devices occupying that zone,
such as “HBA Zone - OS1.”
2. Select a Zone ID using any number between 0 and 512 that has not been
previously selected for another zone. This same Zone ID will be used for a
corresponding zone on the other side of the fabric, provided there are devices
that must directly access each other across the fabric.
3. While the zone name is still highlighted in the Zones pane of the Zone
Configuration window, go over to the Devices pane in the same window and
look for the host controller ports listed under the E_Port (labeled “EP”).
Select that device, and then click the Add icon on the menu bar near the top of
the window. Select the HBA device from the Devices pane and click the Add
icon.
4. Follow the previous three steps for any additional HBA zones that are
required.
5. This zoning configuration must be committed by clicking the Commit icon
on the menu bar near the top of the window.
Zone across fabric
The PPRC and HBA zones must be repeated on the remote IPS3300 across the
fabric. Remember to use a common Zone ID for any zone that must eventually be
merged with its ‘partner’ zone on the local IPS3300. When completed, commit the
zoning configuration as shown in Step 5 above.
Export partner zones into merged zone
After the zoning configurations are set, use the following procedures to export the
partner zones exported across the fabric into a single merged zone:
1. Use the SANvergence application to access the Element Manager window for
the local IPS3300. Under the Configuration menu, select iFCP, and then
select Remote Connections.
2. Select (highlight) the line corresponding to the iFCP gateway port connection.
a. Choose Edit.
b. Under the heading “Select local zones to share” is a box showing all
zones with their corresponding Zone IDs. Choose the Share box for each
zone that has a corresponding partner zone across the fabric.
