The wizard creates one zone group per defined zone populating the zone group with the phys associated with the connectors in that zone and setting up permission for the phys in the zone group to communicate with each other The wizard then compares each zone group to all other zone groups including zone groups created during this process searching for phys that are in both zone groups If it finds any such phys parents it creates a new zone group child and moves the identified phys to the child The wizard then grants permission for the child s phys to communicate with each other as well as with the phys of the two parent zone groups If one of the parent zone groups is emptied in this process the wizard transfers all permissions from the parent to the child Empty zone groups are later ignored and are not transferred to the zone manager The wizard creates the zone set and associated zone group when you click the Apply button It assigns to zone groups the names zone set name 001 zone set name 002 and so on If the number of generated zone groups exceeds the maximum number of 248 the wizard displays an error message NOTE If phys on the edge of the ZPSDS are associated with connectors then their connectors are displayed in the selection list If phys on the edge of the ZPSDS are not associated with connectors but they have formed into ports they are connected to a device then ports are displayed in the selection

AS zoning partitions the SAS topology to isolate selected hosts from each other or to allow selected hosts to access only selected storage volumes The SAS6160 switch supports the full SAS 2 0 T10 zoning model There are several benefits to zoning which can be configured accordingly Security Zoning prevents users from accessing information that is not available to them Manageability Zoning reflects operational categories such as marketing or engineering Zoning also can partition hosts that run different operating systems to minimize conflicts m Performance Zoning enables faster boot time because the host must discover only the storage within its zone or zones SAS zoning access control is implemented by linked switch expander devices with zoning enabled These devices define a Zoned Portion of a Service Delivery System ZPSDS No host device intervention is required Each zoning switch expander device maintains an identical zone permission table so zone access control is maintained across the entire ZPSDS Initiators and targets see only the portions of the ZPSDS to which they are assigned in the zone permission table These zoned portions are called zone groups Zone groups are activated when they belong to a set When the set is enabled the zoning is enforced When the set is disabled the zoning disappears There can be more than one set in a ZPSDS and initiators and targets can belong to more than one set but only
