iSCSI Fibre Channel zone configuration
15
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
• If default zoning is set to All Access and there is no effective zone configuration, then you can
create an iSCSI Fibre Channel zone and add it to a defined configuration, but you do not need
to enable the defined configuration. Because your default zoning is All Access with no effective
zone configuration, all devices can already talk to each other. However, to avoid SAN
congestion in the future, you should implement a zoning plan for your devices.
Use the Zone Admin module to create zoning or remove or add zone members to reflect your iSCSI
devices.
For more information about configuring zones, refer to “Zoning configurations” on page 121.
Creating an iSCSI Fibre Channel zone with no effective zone
configuration
Use the following procedure to create an iSCSI FC zone with no effective zone configuration.
1. Open iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module as described in “Launching the iSCSI Target
Gateway Admin Module” on page 188.
2. Click Create iSCSI Zone.
3. Click Yes.
The Create iSCSI Zone wizard creates a zone called “ISCSI FC ZONE,” which is not placed into a
defined configuration or automatically enabled.
4. Add the ISCSI FC ZONE into a configuration.
For instructions, refer to “Creating zone configurations” on page 131.
Creating an iSCSI Fibre Channel zone with an effective zone
configuration
Use the following procedure to create an iSCSI FC zone with an effective zone configuration.
1. Launch the iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module as described in “Launching the iSCSI Target
Gateway Admin Module” on page 188.
2. Click Create iSCSI Zone.
3. Click Yes.
4. Select a configuration in the dialog box:
• If you select a non-effective configuration, the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone is added into that
configuration. The configuration is not re-enabled and remains in the defined
configuration until you enable it. You must add the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone to the
effective configuration at a later date or iSCSI target gateway does not work.
• If you select an effective configuration, the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone is added into the
effective configuration, and then the configuration is re-enabled. This affects the entire
SAN; the zoning database must update itself, and then replicate its changes into the
fabric.
