NOTE
The name of SAN zone must start with “LSAN_”. Otherwise, the extrinsic call returns an error code:
5 (CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER). Invalid SANZone name: <SAN Zone name>.
Alert indication support
The following is the alert indication support for SAN zoning:
• Alert indication with message ID BRCD102 is delivered to CIM client, if there is a failure in SAN
zone activation through CIM client. It is not delivered if there is a failure in SAN zone activation
through Brocade Network Advisor client.
• Alert indication with message ID FC2 is delivered for successful activation because zoning
activation is performed at fabric level.
Use cases
Figure 13 explains a sample SAN configuration.
FIGURE 13 Sample SAN configuration
• Create a LSAN_Zone1, add WWN of Host, Target3 and activate the same zone. As the
LSAN_Zone1 has end devices from fabric1 and fabric3, it is activated to both the fabrics. The
following extrinsic calls are used for this operation:
- Activate the SAN zoning session with SANSessionControl (RequestedSessionState=2).
- Create an LSAN zone with CreateSANZone (SANZoneName=LSAN_Zone1,
SANZoneType=LSAN, ZoneMembers={“Host WWN”, “Target 3 WWN”}).
- Commit the SAN zoning session with SANSessionControl (RequestedSessionState=3).
