LSAN zones

Connecting to another network through a Fibre Channel (FC) router, you can create an LSAN zone to

include zone objects on other fabrics. No merging takes place across the FC router when you create

an LSAN zone.

Figure 460 shows an example in which Server 1, which is connected to a switch in the VCS fabric,

has access to local storage and to RAID storage on a Fabric OS fabric.

Supported configurations for LSAN zoning

LSAN zoning is available only for backbone fabrics and any directly connected edge fabrics. A

backbone fabric is a fabric that contains an FC router. All discovered backbone fabrics have the

prefix LSAN_ in their fabric name, which is listed in the Zoning Scope list.

LSAN zones are supported between the following types of fabrics:

• Fabric OS and Fabric OS

• Fabric OS and Network OS

NOTE

You cannot access a target on a Network OS fabric from a server on the Fabric OS fabric.

NOTE

LSAN zoning is supported only in Enterprise and Professional Plus editions.
