• Third-party storage zones are governed by product-specific configuration guidelines (see the third-
party product documentation).

coexistence support.
Zoning
These zoning rules apply to a heterogeneous SAN with MSA2000fc or MSA2000fc G2 storage
systems:
• Zoning is required for all operating systems that access an MSA2000fc or MSA2000fc G2. See
“Heterogeneous SAN support” on page 236.
• An MSA2000fc or MSA2000fc G2 can be in multiple operating system zones.
For configurations that support common server access to multiple storage system types, see
“Common server access” on page 232.
Maximums
Table 118 lists maximum configurations for the MSA2000fc and MSA2000fc G2.
