    This document provides steps for configuring zoning on a Cisco MDS switch to control access between hosts and storage. It describes how to create aliases for world wide port names, define zones with those aliases as members, add the zones to an active zoneset, and activate the zoneset. This zoning configuration allows communication only between specified hosts and storage targets to enforce access control and isolation in the SAN fabric.

    The key takeaways are how to configure zoning and aliases on Cisco MDS switches to control fabric access between servers and storage. This includes creating aliases for HBAs and storage targets, creating zones with those aliases as members, adding zones to active zonesets, and activating the zoneset.

    The steps to create aliases and zones are: 1) Create aliases for HBAs and storage targets. 2) Create zones and add the aliases as members. 3) Exit to save the configuration.

    The steps to add a zone to an active zoneset are: 1) Create a zoneset. 2) Add the zone as a member to the zoneset. 3) Exit and save the configuration.

    Add the port to a vsan:


    SAN01# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. SAN01(config)# vsan database SAN01(config-vsan-db)# vsan 10 End with CNTL/Z.

    SAN01(config-vsan-db)# vsan 10 interface fc4/30 Traffic on fc4/30 may be impacted. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y SAN01(config-vsan-db)# exit SAN01(config)#

    Make pwwn alias:


    SAN01# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. SAN01(config)# fcalias name deploy01 vsan 10 SAN01(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 21:00:00:e0:8b:8f:e9:7e SAN01(config-fcalias)# exit

    Create the zone:

    View the zone:

    Add the zone to a zoneset:


    SAN01# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. SAN01(config)# zoneset name san01_prod10 vsan 10 SAN01(config-zoneset)# member deploy01 SAN01(config-zoneset)# exit SAN01(config)#

    Check the zoneset name. Grab the name from the first line of output from:
    SAN01# show zoneset zoneset name san01_prod10 vsan 10

    Activate the zoneset


    SAN01# config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. SAN01(config)# zoneset activate name san01_prod10 vsan 10 Zoneset activation initiated. check zone status SAN01(config)# exit SAN01# copy running startup [########################################] 100%
