9 Peer Zoning Simplifying Zone administration

10 Traditional zoning method Single-initiator zoning (no initiator to initiator connectivity) SERVER #1 SERVER #2 SERVER #3 Z3 Z2 Z1 Pros: Uses least number of port CAM (* entries Minimizes RSCN (** volume to end devices SERVER #4 Z4 (Possibly) makes troubleshooting easier SERVER #5 SERVER #6 SERVER #7 Z5 SERVER #8 Z6 Z7 STORAGE FABRIC Z8 STORAGE ARRAY Cons: Results in large number of zones Can exhaust zone database size limits Heavy administrative burden Requires a lot of work and is prone to human errors *) Content Addressable Memory **) Registered State change Notification 10

11 New (FOS v7.4+) zoning method Peer Zoning (follows FC-SW-6 (* and FC-GS-7 (** standards) SERVER #1 SERVER #2 Simplify zoning configuration while achieving device isolation Improves performance and scalability SERVER #3 Peer Zoning Rules SERVER #4 SERVER #5 PEER(S) STORAGE FABRIC PZ1 PRINCIPAL STORAGE ARRAY Membership asymmetry Principal vs. non- Principal (Peers) Communication allowed between Principal and Peer members only Communication disallowed among Peer members including RSCN SERVER #6 SERVER #7 Co-exist with legacy (Single-initiator zoning) zoning for migration SERVER #8 *) Fibre Channel - Switch Fabric **) Fibre Channel - Generic Services 11

12 Target Driven Peer Zoning Enables the target to create Peer-zones

13 Target Driven Zoning (TDZ) What is target driven zoning? Peer Zoning configuration created by storage device Configuration communicated through FC in-band HOST SAN SWITCH STORAGE ARRAY Name Server returns a list of all unzoned WWNs 2 Query NS NS Response 1 3 Target queries unzoned Name Server entries Storage Admin attaches the host Zoning request is accepted 5 AAPZ ACC 4 Storage Array makes zoning (AAPZ (* ) request *) AAPZ = Add/Replace Active Peer Zone, command 13
