How to find if FC-Switch using port-zoning or not Brocade FC 300












0















I have to replace a HBA on RedHat5.3 due to card failure.



A tech guy asked me that "Check your FC-Switch Zoning Type of Port Zoning or not? , because if host accessed by WWNN, you'll need to update FC-switch config"



Is this below result on Brocade FC 300 showing Port-Zoning configuration or not?

          Simple answer is to check zoneshow command output to list all configured zones. Zones that look like:



          zone:test_1
          21:00:00:24:XX:XX:XX:XX
          50:06:01:60:XX:XX:XX:XX
          50:06:01:69:XX:XX:XX:XX


          Are using WWN addresses.



          If you see something like:



          zone:test_1
          1,1
          1,6
          1,7


          Then, you are using port-zoning. Here, the first 1 is the SwitchDomain ID and 1,6,7 are port numbers on that switch.



          Also, zones can have a mixture of WWNs and ports definitions. Don't forget to do the same on the second Brocade switch as they are usually implementing Dual-Fabric configuration for redundancy and multi-pathing.
