Yes it does. From the HCD manual, there's a section that talks about them
Defining a special FBA device (FBA)
You can use a new type of disk devices, known as Fixed Block Architecture (FBA)
or Fixed Block (FB) devices. Devices of this type may be considered as a data
bridge between z/OS

FCP connected SCSI drives is done via san zoning. Considering that IOSFBA is a
function within z/OS. I don't know how that connectivity works.

I can comment on this, as I do san admin (along with z/OS and a couple of other
things).
From the z/OS perspective, it only deals with 3390 dasd architecture, and
3490/3590 tapes, and is connected via FICON, which may or may not go thru a
FICON director. On the ficon director there is a
I think, there is some misunderstanding here.
First, basics:
DAS - Direct Attached Storage - a disk connected directly, like your HDD
in your PC. This model can be used in mainframe world - DASD array
connected over FICON links to the host. No switches/directors between.
SAN - In this case
Hi
So from the mainframe perspective zoning is done even if the connectivity
passes through SAN ? Sorry if my understanding is incorrect ?
