Working with LUN Zoning
The controller's LUN zoning capability allows the user to specify which servers (hosts) can
access each partition. This gives the user complete control of array access based on specific
needs.
Before setting up LUN zoning, the user should know the World Wide Name (WWN) for each
server to be set up (the system SAN administrator should know the WWNs for the network).
A list of the last 16 WWNs can be displayed by the controller. Each WWN can be given a name,
making LUN zoning faster and easier to work with.
LUN zoning is set up by either excluding or including servers on a list for each partition LUN.
The list can include or exclude up to 16 specific servers or all servers for each partition LUN.

Figure 37: Example of LUN Zoning
For example, in Figure 37 above, Array A has two partitions. Partition 1 has an include list that
contains only Accounting (meaning only Accounting can access Partition 1). Array B has three
partitions; Partition 3 has an exclude list that contains only the Web Server (meaning all servers
can access Partition 3, except the Web Server). Array C is a single-partition array and uses
the default setting "Include All Hosts" (meaning all servers can access the array).
