Creating a zone
Perform this task to create a new
zone for a volume, a virtual disk (VDisk), or a managed disk (MDisk).
If the host ports that were selected during volume creation are not in
the same zone as the storage device ports, you can use this panel to create
a new zone that contains both the host and storage device ports.
This panel is invoked from the Specify zone information panel.
Steps
Perform the following steps to create a new zone for a volume,
a VDisk, or an MDisk:
- Type a name for the zone in the Zone name field.
A valid zone name must begin with a letter and contain only alphanumeric characters.
- In the Zone activation list, select either Active or Inactive. The default is Active.
 | Note: This selection is not available for MDisks. |
- In the Zone set status list, select Active or Inactive. The default is Active.
- Review the entries in the Port information box.
Verify that the listed host ports and storage device ports that you selected
during volume creation are listed.
- Select one or more MDisks that belong to the selected MDisk group in the
MDisk list.
- Click OK to create a new zone and close the panel.
