Cisco MDS Series Swich Zoning Fundamentally below flow chart should be followed for zoning:

Before we begin zoning please make sure you have cabled each HBA to both switches assuring the host is connected to each switch. Now let’s get started … Configuring and Enabling Ports with Cisco Device Manager: Once your HBAs are connected we must first Enable and Configure the ports. 1. Open Cisco Device Manager to enable port:

2. Type in the IP address, username and password of the first switch:

3. Right-click the port you attached FC cable to and select enable:

Cisco allows the usage of multiple VSANs (Virtual Storage Area Network). If you have created a VSAN other than VSAN 1 you must configure the port for the VSAN you created.

Right-clicking on “Zones”. 2. Select “Insert” from the drop down menu. A new screen will appear. 3. Type in the name of the “Zone”, for management purposes use the following format _ Example: SQL01_HBAO_VNX_SPAO. 4. Click “OK”:

Note: These steps must be repeated to zone the hosts HBA to the second storage controller. In our case, VNX_SPB1. Adding Members to Zones: Once the Zones names are created, insert the aliases into the Zones: 5. Right-click on the Zone you created. 6. Select “Insert”, and a new screen will appear. 7. Select “FC-Alias”, click on “…” box then select Host FC Alias. 8. Select the target FC Alias, click “OK”, and click “Add”:
