Creating a zone policy

You can create a zone configuration policy that can be applied to switches that are connected to servers and storage devices.

1. Click Settings > Policies, and then click Create Policy.
2. For the policy type, select Zone, and then enter the following:
   • Name: Enter a policy name.
   • Select Connection Type: Server-Storage or Storage-Storage.
   • Select Config Type:
     • Single-Single: Creates a zone policy between a single compute device and a single storage device with an individual port.
     • Single-Multi: Creates a zone policy between a single compute device and a single storage device with multiple ports. This option is not available for a storage-storage connection type.
     • Peer: Creates a zone policy between a single compute device and a single storage device. The server port acts as a principal member and the storage ports act as peer members. This option is not available for a storage-storage connection type.
   • Add to Effective Zone Config:
     • True: Adds the zone to the effective zone configuration.
     • False: Creates the zone and the zone alias only, but does not add the zone to the effective zone configuration.
   • Use Recommended Zoning: True or False.
     Note: This option is available only for the Storage-Storage connection type.
   • Switch Tags: enter any switch tags for filtering; separate multiple tags with a comma.
   • Switch Models: select the Fibre Channel switches for the policy.
   • Server Tags: enter any server tags for filtering; separate multiple tags with a comma.
   • Server Models: select the server models for the policy.
