Chapter 5 Configuring Your Library
Working With FC I/O Blades
Dell PowerVault ML6000 User’s Guide

Details on configuring channel zoning include:
• By default, all target FC ports (ports 1 and 2) on an FC I/O blade have
access to all initiator ports (ports 3–6).
• Changing channel zoning setting will cause the affected FC I/O blade
to reboot.
• If host port failover is enabled on the FC I/O blade, channel zoning
must be configured so that all target FC ports have access to all
initiator ports. For information on host port failover, see
• The
Setup - FC I/O Blade Channel Zoning
screen on the Web client lists
all FC I/O blades found in the library. FC I/O blades are listed by the
following: location in the library, WWNN, and status. The
corresponding
Channel Zoning Select Blade
screen on the operator
panel lists the location in the library and state. You can select the FC
I/O blade you want to configure for channel zoning and proceed to
the next screen.
• The two FC target ports (ports 1 and 2) and the four FC initiator ports
(ports 3–6) are displayed in a grid, with the target ports listed in
columns and the initiator ports listed in rows. Check boxes allow you
to associate a target port with an initiator port.
• To permit access, select the check box at the intersection of the
target port and the initiator port. You can associate each initiator
port with more than one target port.
• To restrict access, clear the check box at the intersection of the
target port and the initiator port.
• When you select a check box, the entire FC channel is zoned. This
zoning affects any host application that might be accessing the
FC I/O blade. If both channel zoning and host mapping are
enabled, the channel zoning settings supersede any host LUN
mapping on the FC I/O blade.
• After configuring channel zoning, save the library configuration.
For instructions on how to save the library configuration, see
Saving and Restoring the Library Configuration
Note:
If both channel zoning and host mapping are enabled, the
channel zoning settings supersede any host LUN mapping on
the FC I/O blade.
