Zoning McDATA Switches

Zoning allows administrators to allocate certain disks to specific servers by associating nodes into zones and preventing other servers from accessing those disks. Zones are grouped into zone sets, which can be created by dragging nodes into zones and zones into zone sets, then saving and activating the set. Existing zone sets and zones can be modified by dragging nodes to add or remove members and saving the changes.
