Zoning Concepts

Selecting Ports on the Core Switch 2/64

The commands used to administer the Fabric OS V4.1 require specification of the
slot and area numbers. These commands use a common specification method.
Area numbers distinguish StorageWorks Core switch ports that have the same port
number but are on different slots. When specifying a particular slot and port for a
command, the slot number operand must be followed by a slash (/), followed by
the port number value.

Note:

The SAN Switch 2/32 runs Fabric OS V4.1. Because the SAN Switch 2/32

does not implement slots, this portion of the operand is not required.
For example, to enable port 4 on a switch blade in slot 2, specify the following:

portEnable 2/4

The Core Switch 2/64 switch has a total of 10 slots. Slot numbers 5 and 6 are
control processor cards, and slots 1 through 4 and 7 through 10 are switch cards.
Each switch card contains 16 ports counted from the bottom 0 to 15. A particular
port is represented by both slot number (1 through 10) and port number (0 through
15).

Zoning commands for Fabric OS V4.1 require specifying a port using an area
number method, where each port on a particular domain is given a unique area
number. Table 2 shows area and port mapping for slots 1 through 10 on a switch.
