Chapter 11. External storage virtualization 643
2. After the IBM Storwize V5030 and external storage systems are connected to the SAN
fabrics, zoning on the switches must be configured. In each fabric, create a zone with the
four IBM Storwize V5030 worldwide port names (WWPNs), two from each node canister
with up to a maximum of eight WWPNs from each external storage system.
Figure 11-1 shows an example of how to cable devices to the SAN. Refer to this example
as we describe the zoning. For this example, we used an IBM Storwize V3700 as our
external storage.

3. Create an IBM Storwize V5030/external storage zone for each storage system to be
virtualized, as shown in the following examples:
– Zone the external Storwize V3700 canister 1 port 2 with the Storwize V5030 canister 1
port 2 and canister 2 port 2 in the blue fabric.
– Zone the external Storwize V3700 canister 2 port 2 with the Storwize V5030 canister 1
port 4 and canister 2 port 4 in the blue fabric.
– Zone the external Storwize V3700 canister 1 port 3 with the Storwize V5030 canister 1
port 1 and canister 2 port 1 in the red fabric.
– Zone the external Storwize V3700 canister 2 port 1 with the Storwize V5030 canister 1
port 3 and canister 2 port 3 in the red fabric.
Ports: The IBM Storwize V5030 supports a maximum of 16 ports or WWPNs from an
externally virtualized storage system.
