Enhanced Zoning
Your video really helped alot thanks

Hi
I am looking for a new role as Storage Admin (SAN, NAS).
Are there any openings in your company?
Extended zoning : These are provided to help ensure that LUNs can be accessed only by specific hosts (LUN zoning).
Good information .....n thank you again broooooo

Hi All, I am looking for extended zoning but did not find any good explanation, so i can understand its required for my design or not. I have four MDS 9000 switches. sw1 and sw2 on DC1 and sw3 and sw4 in DC2. sw1 & sw3 are connected through ISLs and sw2 & sw4 are also connected through ISLs. customer wants that he should be able to present the storage from DC1 to hosts in DC2 via the ISL links between the switches. I am configured the switches till zoneset config and now just need to activate it. But I am confused does extended zoning applied to my scenario or not and do i need to run the "zone commit" command or not.
Vsan 3 was created separately or you just give the name vsan 3 ??
I wish to see you can post the trouleshooting on the san switch such as : Find the WWN after replace the HBA card and performance issue . Many Thanks.
Sure I will try to make videos on that as well.
@@saNasTech thank you bro
Please do a video on ONTAP UPGRADE, and its plan of action.....

Hi thanks for the video, i have a question, can i do all the zone configuration if I'm only have 1 switch, sorry but i am very new on this topic and i am trying to mount a lab, right now i have a cisco 9124 switch + others servers with hba cards and would like to use san for my vmware lab, thanks.
Yes you can do but you won't have redundency. If one switch fails then all host will lose the connection.
@@saNasTech thanks for answering, it is ok i am working in a lab 🙂

I'm cleaning up some fcalias of SAN LIFs that no longer exist. These were paths to Netapp controllers that have been decommissioned. I'm able to remove these fcalias just fine from the MDS switch but when I do a "show run" I still see the wwn in the fcdomain fcid database. Is there a way to clean up non existent wwns from this database?

@san&nasTechie
what will happen if I run 'zone commit' command but I don't have any extended zoning enable?
The command will give you an error.

Hi, I am working on Cisco MDS9706 switch. I need to create almost 100 aliases and 700 zones. Is there any way i can create an alias with single command with host wwpn instead of running three commands (fcalisa name -->member pwwn --> exit) for each alias. Also Is it possible just to create zone with one command and later add all members in to that zone by some other command. In this way i can make an excel sheet for every task.
Indeed it's a hectic task. Unfortunately, I am not aware of such commands. I suggest you look for some scripts.
@@saNasTech Thanks for the update, I'll share if I found any successful workaround.
@@saNasTech You could stop using fcaliases and instead use device-aliases. fcaliases require a unique name per VSAN. Device-aliases are defined regardless of VSAN. Which means you can use them in any VSAN.
mds (config) # device-alias database
mds (config-device-alias-db) #
device-alias name pwwn
device-alias name pwwn
---
mds (config-device-alias-db)# exit
mds (config) # end
mds (config) # device-alias commit
mds # show device-alias database
I have two question.Kindly answer plz....1) How many zoneset can be activated in one Vsan and 2) If you don't have "zone" concept can we present a lun or not
Only one zoneset can be active in a fabric at a time. There are switches that work without zoning enabled. Those switches will be having any to any communication enabled. Switches with 8 ports or less doesn't require zoning enabled.

what will happen if I run 'zone commit' command but I don't have any extended zoning enable? will it affect the existing active zoneset? Thank you
Anyway, it's a great info :)
Btw, are you referring to ISL setup for 2 switch that time extended zoning must be enable? Am I right? Thank you.
@@tonymarms8908 Extended zoning is for fabric level it not for port or ISL level.
@@saNasTech Thank you! Btw, there should be name in activating zoneset "zoneset activate name zoneset_name vsan x"
