Here is what we have and the instructions that were given to me. #### FCSW00 xxx.xxx.xxx.233 Fabric A FCSW01 xxx.xxx.xxx.234 Fabric B FCSW02 xxx.xxx.xxx.235 Fabric A FCSW03 xxx.xxx.xxx.236 Fabric B Summary: One HBA is attached to each fabric; two zones per HBA. One is zoned to a port on SPA and one is zoned to a port on SPB We have a CX600 which has 4 ports per SP. So, it could be zoned to SPA0 (0-3)and SPB0(0-3) #### If I understand correctly what I have is Example 2 (typo corrected). Then I would, for an hba connected to Fabric A on a port on FCSW00, setup a zone on FCSW00 and another on FCSW02. The same would apply for the hba in Fabric B using FCSW01 and FCSW03. Is this correct or am I still lost? Thanks, John -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
