Switch Zoning for
Highest Availability
Campus
Configuration
The highest availability campus configuration provides a separate zone for each
reserved port for the Synchronous Mirroring premium feature.
The switches do not need to be zoned exactly as presented in this configuration.
However, you must meet the following requirements when zoning switches for the
highest availability campus configuration.
There are a total of four zones in this configuration.
Zone 1 and zone 3 are on fabric 1 (switch 1A at the primary site, and switch 1B at
the secondary site).
Zone 2 and zone 4 are on fabric 2 (switch 2A at the primary site, and switch 2B at
the secondary site).
Configure the zones on the switch so that there is one port per zone for a storage array
connection and one port per zone for each host. Switches are zoned so that a single
host bus adapter port can access only one controller per storage array.
Switches are zoned so that a single host bus adapter port can access only one
controller for each storage array.
NOTE Do not zone the uplink ports (E_ports) on any of the Fibre Channel switches.
