Creating Zone on Cisco MDS

Sebelum melakukan zone dan zoneset, pastikan sudah terlebih dahulu konfig VSAN dan Interface.

MDS-A# sh flogi data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERFACE        VSAN    FCID           PORT NAME               NODE NAME      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fc1/25           1   0x2f00ef  50:08:02:60:08:60:6a:d0 50:08:02:60:88:60:6a:d0

fc1/27           1   0x2f02ef  10:08:02:62:08:60:6a:d0 10:08:02:60:88:60:6a:d0

Selajutnya adalah membuat fcalias. Fungsi dari membuat fcalias adalah, untuk menggantikan zone member yang berupa pwwn menjadi alias. Karena pada dasarnya member dari zone bisa beragam, bisa berupa port name (pwwn), node name (wwnn), dan bisa menggunakan fcalias.

MDS-A(config)# fcalias name storage-1 vsan 100
MDS-A(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 50:08:02:60:08:60:6a:d0

MDS-A(config)# fcalias name storage-2 vsan 100
MDS-A(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 50:08:02:68:08:60:6a:d0

MDS-A(config)# fcalias name server-1 vsan 100
MDS-A(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 10:08:02:62:08:60:6a:d0

MDS-A(config)# fcalias name server-2 vsan 100
MDS-A(config-fcalias)# member pwwn 10:08:02:6a:08:60:6a:d0
 




Veririkasi konfigurasi fcalias diatas
MDS-A# sh fcalias name storage-1
fcalias name storage-1 vsan 100
  pwwn 50:08:02:60:08:60:6a:d0
MDS-A#

MDS-A# sh fcalias name storage-2
fcalias name storage-2 vsan 100
  pwwn 50:08:02:68:08:60:6a:d0
MDS-A#

MDS-A# sh fcalias name server-1
fcalias name server-1 vsan 100
  pwwn 10:08:02:62:08:60:6a:d0
MDS-A#

MDS-A# sh fcalias name server-2
fcalias name server-2 vsan 100
  pwwn 10:08:02:6a:08:60:6a:d0
MDS-A# 

Create zone.
Skenario untuk pembuatan zone ini menggunakan single-initiator dan single-target.

MDS-A(config)# zone name storage-1_server-1 vsan 100
MDS-A(config-zone)# member fcalias storage-1
MDS-A(config-zone)# member fcalias server-1
MDS-A(config-zone)# exit

MDS-A(config)# zone name storage-2_server-2 vsan 100
MDS-A(config-zone)# member fcalias storage-2
MDS-A(config-zone)# member fcalias server-2
MDS-A(config-zone)# exit


Create Zoneset.
setelah pembuatan zone di atas, langkah selanjutnya adalah pembuatan zoneset. berikan nama zoneset cobazone dan masukan member zone yang sebelumnya telah di buat.

MDS-A(config)#zoneset name cobazone vsan 100
MDS-A(config-zone)#member storage-1_server-1
MDS-A(config-zone)#member storage-2_server-2
MDS-A(config-zone)#zoneset activate name cobazone vsan 100

Step terakhir adalah, verifikasi zoning yang telah dibuat.

MDS-A#show zoneset activ vsan 100
zoneset name cobazone vsan 100
  zone name storage-1_server-1vsan 100
  * fcid 0x2f00ef [pwwn 50:08:02:60:08:60:6a:d0]
  * fcid 0x2f02ef [pwwn 10:08:02:62:08:60:6a:d0]
 
  zone name storage-2_server-2 vsan 100
  * fcid 0x2f09ef [pwwn 50:08:02:68:08:60:6a:d0]
  * fcid 0x2f0cef [pwwn 10:08:02:6a:08:60:6a:d0]
