Identify the FC WWNs and set up switch zoning

Record the FC HBA WWNs on the System Information Worksheet and set up switch zoning as requried.

Steps

  1. Identify and record FC HBA WWNs:
    1. Open a Windows PowerShell console.
    2. Type Get-InitiatorPort and press Enter.
    3. Locate and record the FC HBA WWNs. The WWNs are needed to map volumes to the hosts.
  2. If the hosts are connected to the storage system using FC switches, implement zoning to isolate traffic for each HBA:
    NOTE Skip this step if hosts are directly connected to the storage system.
    1. Use the FC switch management interface to create a zone for each server HBA. Each zone must contain only one HBA WWN and all the storage port WWNs.
    2. Repeat for each FC switch.
      NOTE The ME5 Series storage systems support single initiator/multiple target zones.
