( the QOS steps are

Start qos by creating class- map   class-map type qos

Use class-map type queing for BW assignment

Create policy-map, policy-map type qos CLASS-MAP

Class-map type network-qos – create network-qos group

Policy-map type network-qos xxxx

Apply all QOS to system QOS)

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

interface san-port-channel 13

  channel mode active

  switchport mode F

  switchport speed 8000

Interface fc 1/46

Switchport speed 8000

Interface fc 1/46

Channel-group 13 fcoe

No shutdown

Switchport description XXX server 1 FCOE port

Interface fc 1/25-27

Switchport mode F

No shutdown

Create VSAN

vsan database

Add the SAN-Port-channel and FC to VSAN

  vsan 20 interface san-port-channel 13

vsan 20 interface fc1/25

  vsan 20 interface fc1/26

  vsan 20 interface fc1/27

create fcalias

fcalias name VMAX_01 vsan 20

member pwwn:50:00:09:77:01:69:44:72

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

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.
