Zoning management

Viewing the zone access map

Click View under Zoning in the task panel to view the Zone Access Map for Devices (

). If 

you have no devices or if you have only one device, the zoning map does not display.

The HBA and storage device names displayed in the matrix are the alias names of the devices (see 

 on page 38 for additional information). If no aliases are 

assigned, devices are identified by WWN. When aliases are assigned, you can see the WWN in a 
tool tip by hovering the mouse cursor over the alias.

Zone Access Map

Some HBAs and storage devices can be configured with dual initiator and target capability. Such 
devices are displayed as storage devices in the matrix. If all of the attached devices are 
dual-capable, the Switch Manager thinks there are no hosts and does not display the matrix or 
allow zone configuration. In this case, you must either reconfigure some of the devices to be 
host-only to continue using the EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager or use Web Tools as your switch 
management tool.

Editing the zoning configuration

You can customize which HBAs can access which storage devices by clicking Edit in the Zoning task 
panel. This starts a wizard that creates a new Custom Zoning scheme based on your device 
accessibility choices. 

If you make any zoning changes to the default Typical Zoning configuration, you will be creating a 
Custom Zoning configuration to replace it. You can later restore the Typical Zoning configuration by 
clicking Restore Default Typical Zoning in the task panel.

NOTE

If all devices are dual-configured, you cannot proceed. Ensure that at least one initiator device is not 
dual-configured to proceed with this Zoning wizard.

1. Click Edit under Zoning in the task panel.

A wizard launches, briefly displaying the Zone Access Map for Devices.
