Zoning Configuration of Cisco Nexus 5000 Switches

 SAN-Zoning Configuration using Cisco NEXUS 5k Switch

for example pwwn # is 10:00:00:00:c9:62:82:36

fcid 0x01002e  get the id from show flogi database

fcalis name is sql02_hba2_p0
zonename ql02_hba2_p0_VMAX_4634_10E0
vsan database# 212

vsan 212 wwn 10:00:00:00:c9:62:82:36 fcid 0x01002d dynamic
fcalias name sql02_hba2_p0 vsan 212
    member pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:62:82:76

zone name sql02_hba2_p0_VMAX_4634_10E0 vsan 212
   
    member fcalias vmbkp02_hba2_p0

zone name sqlp02_hba2_p0_TLB01_TAPE2 vsan 212
   
    member fcalias sqlp02_hba2_p0
zoneset name Zoneset_B_01242012 vsan 212


The procedure is

• create zone
• add members to zone
• create zoneset
• add multiple zones to a zoneset
• activate the zone set
• save the config

conf t

switch(config)# zone name sql02_hba2_p0_VMAX_4634_10E0 vsan 212
sswitch(config-zone)# member pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:62:82:36
 switch(config-zone)# member fcid 0x01002e

(fcalias can be called accounting for easy undestanding)
switch(config-zone)# member fcalias sql02_hba2_p0

create ZONE set

conf t

switch(config)# zoneset name Zoneset_B_01242012 vsan 212
witch(config-zoneset)# member sql02_hba2_p0_VMAX_4634_10E0

(If the specified zone name was not previously configured,
 this command will return the Zone not present error message)


switch(config-zoneset)# zone name sqlp02_hba2_p0_TLB01_TAPE2 


Activate a Zone set

switch(config)# zoneset activate name zoneset_B_01242012 vsan 212



DISPLAY ZONE CONFIG


show zone vsan 212
show zoneset vsan 212
show zone member pwwn #
show zone active
 show zone status

it is better to have single Zoneset and several zones assigned to it.
