Hi all,
i am having troubles enabling lun zoning on MDS 9148..
according to configuration guide lun zoning should be siplmly enabled by entering lun id, at the end of the following command:
switch(config)#zone name LunSample vsan 2
switch(config-zone)#member pwwn 10:00:00:23:45:67:89:ab lun 0x64
when i try to do this , there is no option to enter the key word lun.., there are only following options:
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 21:00:00:24:ff:0a:d3:b3 ?
<CR>
both Enter device-type as both
initiator Enter device-type as initiator
target Enter device-type as target
i am running following NX-OS on my MDS 9148:
kickstart variable = bootflash:/m9100-s3ek9-kickstart-mz.5.2.8b.bin
system variable = bootflash:/m9100-s3ek9-mz.5.2.8b.bin
i have enterprise license installed. i have put it in use by enabling feature port-security, as far there is no such a feature as lun zoning
switch# sh license usage
Feature Ins Lic Status Expiry Date Comments
Count
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FM_SERVER_PKG No - Unused -
ENTERPRISE_PKG Yes - In use never -
PORT_ACTIVATION_PKG Yes 32 In use never -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i just want to note, that there is no Storage attached yet, so the question is: is it possible that lun id will be available once the MDS switch will learn them from Storage??
any other suggestions?
Thank You..

Lun zoning is not support on MDS 9148 (Sabre ASIC hardware does not support lun zoning functionality)

Hello Marek,
Since release 5.2(6) is required configure the device type (both, initiator, target).

Hello Marek,
Since release 5.2.1 and later lun zoning is no longer supported. your release is 5.2.8b
LUN zoning, read-only zones, and broadcast zones are no longer supported. These features affect the following hardware:
•Cisco MDS 9000 8-port 10-Gbps Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) module
•Cisco MDS 9000 48-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel Switching module
•Cisco MDS 9000 32-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel Switching module
You cannot bring up these modules if these features are already configured. You should completely remove all configurations that include these features before you attempt to bring up these modules. In addition, you cannot configure these features after you bring up these modules.
Thanks

As far I know the MDS-9148 still supports LUN Zoning even in the 6.x release.
