7-11

Working with LUN Zoning

The controller’s LUN zoning capability lets you specify which servers (hosts) can
access each array. This gives you complete control of array access based on your
specific needs. LUN zoning is only available on the G7313 and K7313 models.

Figure 7-1 shows an example of how you can use LUN zoning.

Figure 7-1. LUN zoning example

Before you set up LUN zoning, you should know the World Wide Name (WWN) for
each server that you want to set up. Your SAN administrator should know the WWNs
for your network. You can display a list of all WWNs that the controller is aware of
on the SAN, and you can give each WWN a name (alias) of your own. This makes
working with the LUN zoning feature faster and easier.

You set up LUN zoning by either excluding or including servers on a list for each
array LUN. The list can include or exclude up to 16 specific servers or all servers for
each array LUN.

For example, in Figure 7-1, Array A has an include list that only contains Host 2, so
only Host 2 can access Array A. Array F has an exclude list that contains only Host 2,
so all hosts except for Host 2 can access the array.
