Abstract

See full text

A methodology is provided. The methodology includes: creating a virtual storage area network between one or more storage arrays and a switch; creating a service profile for a zoning configuration, wherein the service profile is associated with at least one or more servers to create the zoning configuration; updating the zoning configuration with a worldwide port name identity for each of the one or more servers; configuring virtual host bus adapters for the service profile; associating a storage target port on one of the one or more storage arrays with a specific one of the virtual host bus adapters; and associating at least one of the one or more servers to a storage policy, wherein storage target ports can be added and removed from the storage policy, wherein a change of one of the storage target ports in the storage policy causes a change of the zoning configuration.
