Managing Back-End Storage
Isolating Back-end Storage Traffic
Setup the traffic isolation for all initiator N-ports in the SampleCluster into the same VSAN or zone as
the back-end storage ports.
To isolate initiator N-ports, follow these steps.
Step 1
Create the target N-ports that this cluster can and should access. In this example, the N-ports to be
accessed by the SampleCluster are
20:22:00:05:30:00:8d:e0
Step 2
Create VSAN 3 for the target traffic for the SampleCluster.
switch# conf t
switch(config)# vsan database
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 3
Add the two Fibre Channel N-ports connected to targets into VSAN 3.
Step 3
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 3 interface fc1/7
switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 3 interface fc1/8
switch(config-vsan-db)# exit
switch(config)#
Add the CSM node's initiator N-port in the SampleCluster in VSAN 3.
Step 4
Each initiator must be explicitly removed from VSAN 1.
Note
switch(config)# interface svc3/1
switch(config-if)# initiator vsan 3
switch(config-if)# no initiator vsan 1
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface svc3/2
switch(config-if)# initiator vsan 3
switch(config-if)# no initiator vsan 1
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface svc7/1
switch(config-if)# initiator vsan 3
switch(config-if)# no initiator vsan 1
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface svc 7/2
switch(config-if)# initiator vsan 3
switch(config-if)# no initiator vsan 1
switch(config-if)# exit
Configure the default zone configuration as permit for VSAN3.
Step 5
switch(config)# zone default-zone permit vsan 3
