Hello All,
Good evening
I am trying to understand on how the ZONING part works when the
connectivity to storage box or the tape device goes through a SAN switch.
How does the ZONING is done and is there any documentation with an example
to understand better. I am trying to google to see if I can find the one am
looking but I am not successful yet.
Is there any pointer or example if someone can help me with ? It will be of
a big help to proceed further.
Zoning is needed for distributed systems world and "discovery" of
storage devices connected to the SAN. It is just to isolate/hide devices
not intended to use with given server.
In CKD world there is IODF/IOCDS configuration file which says what is
accessible to given LPAR or OS Config.
Of course your SAN can be used for various purposes like ISL, DASD array
remote copy (usually FC, not FICON) and maybe some FCP devices and servers.
