Principle and Meaning of Zon Division of IBM B16 Optical Fiber Switch
The function of zoom in optical fiber storage switch is similar to that of Ethernet switch VLAN. It is mainly to divide multiple logical areas in one switch to prevent storage connections of different applications from initiating broadcast packets and improve the utilization of optical fiber switch.
In principle, zon division must have at least two nodes, which can be based on the WWN number of switch port or optical fiber adapter (i.e. alias mode).
2 Web mode based on RJ45 network
Configure any address with the same IP address as the 10.77.77.77.0 network segment, and ensure that the console is equipped with Java environment. If not, you can go to the next "jre-1_5_0_04-windows-i586-p.exe" or other versions on the sun website, and then connect the controller to the RJ45 network port behind the switch. Ping to test the connectivity of 10.77.77.77.77, If not, you can disable enabling the network card of the console and connect the switch management page with ie.
After the Zoon is divided, set the switch working mode (select no access under set default mode in the zooning actions menu) and save it (select Save config only in the zooning actions menu, and wait until there is a prompt that the storage is successful)
3 Command line mode based on serial port or telnet
In the first step, you can change the IP ipaddrset. After the change, you can change the domain ID. you can use configure to change it. Before the change, you can first switchdisables and then switchenables.
For example, whether it is based on port or wwname. If it is based on port, ask whether you want to create alias (name storage, other switches and host, and then divide zoning by name). Port based zoning is relatively simple, as shown in the following example:
zoning
1. Switchshow # lists all ports and wwns
cfgAdd ";" "zone1, zone2"; # Add Zone1 and zone2 to the configuration cfg1
5. Cfgsave save the configuration to disk
7. Zoneshow # displays all configured zones
Create an alias and add the device name to this alias:
Then create the name of the zone and the device name (alicreate):
After that, create the name and zone of CFG:
After that, save the established CFG and use cfgsave; Finally, cfgenable is used to validate the configuration.
After connecting the optical fiber, divide all ports or WWN numbers of all host optical fiber cards into one zone in zone before they can be used normally
