6.3.7 To manage Fibre Channel switch that has already set in port zoning

One-to-one WWPN zoning setting is recommended in this software to realize the complete zoning security management as described in "4.2.1 SN200 (Brocade) Fibre Channel switch", though port zoning is possible to be performed. The procedure to change into one-to-one WWPN zoning setting is as follows.

  1. Confirm that all the monitored devices are connected with all the switch ports.

  2. It is necessary that the sanma.conf file must be changed. Refer to "C.2 sanma.conf Parameter" and specify 1 in SET_SW_ZONING_ALWAYS.

    By selecting [Tool] - [Option] - [Re-read Definition File] from the menu or restarting the administrative Manager operates to cause the change to be reflected the contents of this file.

  3. Display "Zoning Information" shown in Fibre Channel Switch property.

  4. Open host server or storage side view based on port zoning information.

    Point

    If a host node name or a storage name in "Zoning Information" displayed in Fibre Channel switch property is not shown, register the device connected with Fibre Switch Port by using manual embedding function.

  5. Select access path and execute [Access Path] - [Connect].

  6. Display "Zoning Information" of Fibre Channel switch again after normally finishing the access path setting.

  7. Confirm that the same contents of WWPN zoning as those of port zoning is displayed and delete the specified port zoning.

    Note

    If the multiple port zoning setting is executed, remember not to delete the multiple port zoning until WWPN zoning relevant to each other is set.

  8. Repeat the procedure from steps 3 to 7.

  9. If necessary, return the setting that is executed in step 2 to the former setting.

    To change the zoning setting can be executed in zone administration window in WEBTOOLS in Fibre Channel switch and by Telnet function.

    Point

    The change to the zoning settings is performed on a Fibre Channel switch equipped with the latest firmware in the fabric (all of the Fibre Channel switches in the cascading connection) that contains the Fibre Channel switch selected when this properties window is opened.
