In case you are interested in zoning from the CLI here are the tasks:

  1. Run the following comand to find out what your active zoneset name is. Make a note of this zoneset since you will need it later
    • show zoneset active
  2. Create aliases
    • conf t
    • fcalias name vsan
    • member pwwn
      • To get the wwpn's of the HBAs that are logged in to the switch run: show flogi database
    • exit
    • Create additional aliases using the same commands
  3. Create a zone and add two members to the zone (EMC best practice is to create single-initiator, single-target zoning)
    • zone name vsan
    • member fcalias
    • member fcalias
    • exit
    • Create additional zones using the same commands
  4. Add the zones into the active zoneset
    • zoneset name vsan
    • member
    • Continue adding your zone name using the member command. Once you are done adding the zones don't forget to type exit
  5. Activate the zoneset
    • zoneset activate name vsan
  6. You might have to enter the zone commit command but that depends on the NX-OS the Cisco switches are running. It doesn't hurt running the command just to be certain. If the command fails then you can safely ignore it
    • zone commit vsan

Correct. You have to use fabric manager or CLI
