if you have initiators in one VSAN and target in another VSAN, you will need to use IVR. SmartZoning does not work with IVR so you will need to use traditional single initiator <> single targets zoning. Some vendors are ok with single initiator <> multiple targets zoning. On some arrays if you do that ports will login into each other (SANCopy on VNX for example, OR on Symmetrix). I don't like to see that so for IVR i continue to do single init <> single target zoning. Painful, i wish SmartZoning would work with IVR as well.

Fred,
designation of "both" or "host" or "storage" is per zone so you should have no problems configured it to what you want.
I actually configured VNX ports as host and XIO as storage. You are either pulling or pushing to XIO and as far as XIO is concerned VNX is just like any other host.

I converted online from regular zones to smart zones without taking systems offline. No cons, just pros ..easier to zone, zoneset is much smaller.

IVR allows devices in different VSANs to communicate with each other.
Yes, zones are VSAN specific.

Are these are actually two separate storage arrays ? If you have extra ports on on the second VNX, add them to VSAN 10. I suspect you don't have IVR/Enterprise license ?

i did not do it in bulk, i performed my "conversions" a couple of systems at a time. In DCNM i would delete traditional zones from active zoneset, add SmartZone and hit activate. All in one step.

yep, did that for all my HP C-class blades and UCS blade a couple of years ago. During the day, with absolutely no bleep on the host side.
For example let's a take "traditional" zones between a UCS blade and EMC VNX
oracle-hba1-vnx5700-spa0
member vnx5700-spa0
member oracle-hba1
oracle-hba1-vnx5700-spb1
member vnx5700-spb1
member oracle-hba1
oracle-hba1-vnx5700-spa3
member vnx5700-spa3
member oracle-hba1
oracle-hba1-vnx5700-spb4
member vnx5700-spb4
member oracle-hba1
So i have 4 distinct zones in your single initiator single target configuration. So i go in and create a new smartzone that looks like this:
oracle-hba1-vnx5700
member oracle-hba1 init
member vnx5700-spb4 target
member vnx5700-spa0 target
member vnx5700-spb1 target
member vnx5700-spa3 target
Now i remove the 4 "traditional" zones above and slide in the SmartZone above and active the zoneset , all in one step. Done

yes you can. You can enable SmarZonining on the fly and then start creating new SmartZones that will co-exist with "traditional" zones. To convert "traditional" zone to SmartZone I would create a brand new SmartZone, add it to active zoneset and at the same time remove "traditional" zone and then active the zoneset. Did that on the fly without host noticing a thing.

i would be careful doing that. Unless you have enabled SmartZoning you might have storage ports login into each other (IE, EMC VNX that have SANCopy enabler installed or VMAX with Open Replicator). For these specific platforms it's not a good idea for storage ports to login into each other.

NPIV and NPV are two different things. Before you destroy your environment do more research what each option does and how to implement.

Kevin,
run "sh ivr vsan-topology" and figure out if the WWN of switch in question is listed as well as the appropriate VSAN #.
