The window shown in Figure 11-50 will prompt you further for the zoneset name. Highlight the
required zoneset with the mouse and click OK to continue.

When you have completed all zoning, click the Close box (to the right of the Apply box) to
return to the main switch menu.
This process needs to be repeated for the second FC3171 8Gb SAN Switch in the chassis so
as to allow for redundancy by using both fabrics in the chassis.
11.5.5 Multipathing
The previous example has created a single zone which includes the initiator from the x240
compute node and two targets, one from each of the storage node canisters. From a compute
node host perspective it now has two paths through the FC switch to IBM Flex System V7000
Storage Node. Repeating the process on the second IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis FC
switch, two more paths are included to the compute node for storage node access. With the
compute node host operating system device drivers, it will now have the capability with
multipathing to use the four paths available to it. Thus it provides an enhancement for
availability and storage performance to the host system on the compute node.
