You have to remember that within a SAN network is somewhat similar to Ethernet. VSAN's are similar to VLAN's and Port-Channels are the same in SAN's where they provide redundancy and you usually see them connecting MDS to MDS.
Zones are a little more difficult to explain where you can have many zones defined but only one active per VSAN. Typically within a SAN that I've seen only have one VSAN defined.
