Adding Devices to Multiple Zones

In the previous example, each host only communicates with the devices in the same zone as the host.

However, there may be situations in which hosts in separate zones need to share devices. When this

situation occurs, use overlapping zones to share the devices between the hosts. Figure 3-15 depicts this

type of zoning configuration.

In Figure 3-15, zone 1 includes ports 1, 3, and 4, while zone 2 includes ports 2, 4 and 5. Port 4 is in both

zones. Devices on ports 1, 3, and 4 have direct access to each other and devices on ports 2, 4, and 5

have direct access to each other, but devices 1 and 3 are separated from devices 2 and 5. The device

on port 4 has direct access to all the devices on ports 1, 2, 3, and 5.

To add storage devices to multiple zones:

1. Select the appropriate zones for each port.

2. Ensure that the Zoning Active check box is selected.
