SAN port channels are utilized for the
aggregation of multiple physical interfaces into one logical interface to
provide higher aggregated bandwidth, load balancing, and link redundancy.
Create SAN Port channel

create fcalias
fcalias name VMAX_01 vsan 20

fcalias esx01_1
member pwwn:20:00:00:15:07:b4:0b:af
Create Zoning for the vsan- Need WWN for the host CNA and SAN
show zone member command for host
and storage to verify that they are both in the same zone.
If they are not in the same zone create the zone name
zone name esx01_1 vsan 20
member fcalias VMAX_01
- SAN side
member fcalias exs01_1
HOST CAN side
or
zone name esx01_1 vsan 20
member pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:9e:02:3e
member pwwn 21:00:00:c0:dd:12:04:ce
check the zone by command to verify both host and storage
are in same zone.
SHOW ZONE VSAN 20
Add Zone members to zoneset
Zoneset name SAN-ESXi_server vsan 20
Member VMAX_01
Member esx01_1
(You can add other servers and SAN ports)
Activate the zoneset
Zoneset activate name SAN-ESXi_server
You can run show fcns database which gives the PWWN of the
adapter
The hosts are type scsi-fcp:init
And SAN ports are scsi-fcp:target
Useful commands
Show zone status vsan 20
To clear lock, clear zone lock command
show vsan membership
- to check host and SAN in same VSAN
show zone member
show zoneset active vsan 20
to check the active zone.
show fcns database
