Overview of iSCSI FC zoning

After you have finished setting up the iSCSI target gateway, you create an iSCSI FC zone for

discovery domains. Depending on whether you have an effective zone configuration enabled in the

current fabric, you will be able to choose where to put the iSCSI FC zone. It can be either contained

in a defined configuration or integrated into the effective configuration. Figure 9 illustrates a

defined iSCSI FC Zone containing iSCSI virtual initiators and FC targets.
