VSAN question

Andrew Cormier

                   This is probably pretty simple question (I think it is too simple... that is why I cant find the answer in a cisco doc lol)

So we already have a san with a fibre switch and multiple host.

We are using mcdata and brocade switches and we are upgradin them to 9124s

In the current infrastructure we creat a zone for each servers fibre card

The members are that servers card and the card on the storage device

We create a second zone with the other card and the other storage devices card (we do this on the other fibre switch.. we always have two)

Each server is the same way.

So is what i am calling a zone the same thing as a VSAN?

On a switch do I create one VSAN per server with the members being one of the FCs from the server and one FC from the storage device?

The cisco docs talk about security and scalability and the joys of VSANing but I am trying to understand using my existing knowledge.

Thanks

Drew

Thanks all. I had read about assiging an ip to a vsan (i think it is even an option on first-boot setup)

We really run an environment where we have two switches and dont want any conflicts/communications between the two of them.
