Zoning for Cisco MDS 9000 switches

Cisco switches support virtual SANs (VSANs), which is the logical partitioning of a fabric into multiple fabrics. The overall network is referred to as the physical infrastructure, and the logical fabrics are the VSANs. IBM Spectrum® Control provides basic zone discovery for the Cisco MDS 9000 series switches.

IBM Spectrum Control supports these zone member types:

N_Port WWN
FC ID (the fibre channel ID of an N_port attached to the switch)

IBM Spectrum Control does not allow zone management of zones that contain unsupported members.
