Usage Guidelines
You can configure a zone name where the iSLB initiators and initiator targets are added. If you do not
specify a zone name, the IPS manager creates one dynamically. iSLB zone sets have the following
considerations:
•
•
•
•
Examples
The following example assigns the zone name for the iSLB initiator.
switch# config t
switch(config)# islb initiator ip-address 100.10.10.10
ips-hac2(config-iscsi-islb-init)# zonename ?
<WORD>
ips-hac2(config-islb-init)# zonename testzone1
The following example removes the zone name and reverts to the default zone name for the iSLB
initiator.
switch (config-islb-init)# no zonename testzone1
OL-16217-01, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
zonename name
no zonename name
Assigns the zone name for the initiator. The maximum size is 55.
Modification
This command was introduced.
Auto-zoning of the initiator with the initiator targets is enabled by default.
A zone set must be active for a VSAN for auto-zones to be created in that VSAN. The zoneset
activate command creates auto-zones only if at least one other change has been made to the zone set.
iSLB zone set activation might fail if another zone set activation is in process or if the zoning
database is locked. Retry the iSLB zone set activation if a failure occurs. To avoid this problem, only
perform only one zoning related operation (normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB zones) at a time.
If IVR and iSLB are enabled in the same fabric, at least one switch in the fabric must have both
features enabled. Any zoning related configuration or activation operation (for normal zones, IVR
zones, or iSLB zones) must be performed on this switch. Otherwise, traffic might be disrupted in
the fabric.
