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.
