Hy!
I have Cisco SAN switch (DS-C9132T-K9). I created some zone for the standalone servers and storage. And also create zones for my blade and storage. I have 3 blade server:
ESX1 pwwn: 50:01:43:80:02:a4:90:00
ESX2 pwwn: 50:01:43:80:02:a4:90:04
ESX3 pwwn: 50:01:43:80:02:a4:90:08
Storage pwwn: 24:70:00:c0:ff:28:cc:a5
The zones configuration for the blade:
zone name ESX1_MSA1 vsan 101
member pwwn 50:01:43:80:02:a4:90:00
member pwwn 24:70:00:c0:ff:28:cc:a5
zone name ESX2_MSA1 vsan 101
member pwwn 50:01:43:80:02:a4:90:04
member pwwn 24:70:00:c0:ff:28:cc:a5
zone name ESX2_MSA1 vsan 101
member pwwn 50:01:43:80:02:a4:90:08
member pwwn 24:70:00:c0:ff:28:cc:a5
I activated the zoneset, but unfortunatelly the servers couldn't see the storage.
The connection between the standalone servers and storage works correctly. What is the different If I create zone for blade servers?
Thanks.

The zone problem is resolved, I modified the zone configuration and forget to activate the zoneset. After I activated the zoneset, the affected host and storage communication works.

- You have two zones named ESX2_MSA1 ; is that intended , or a typo ?

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. The coerrect zone name is:
zone name ESX3_MSA1 vsan 101
member pwwn 50:01:43:80:02:a4:90:08
member pwwn 24:70:00:c0:ff:28:cc:a5

- Remember to activate the zoneset if applicable with : zoneset activate....
- Check flogi status with : show fcns database ...
- Verify active zones using : show zone active ...
- Check logs on the SAN switch with : show logging

Thanks.
I see all connected device which is part of the zone config.
Can I check the unzoned devices WWNs? I run the following comman: sh zone analysis active
And I see there are 5 unzoned devices:
Number of devices zoned in vsan: 45/50 (Unzoned: 5)
And also checked the following command: sh zone internal event-history errors
There are some error which is regarding the port where the affected blade and the storage is connected:

I don't know what does it mean. We connected the devices to the switch with the logs timestamp.
Thanks.

Do you have any idea?
