Below steps demonstrate to perform SAS-2 Zoning using SMP utilities:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Base requirement:<\/p>\n
smp_dev : device details for which zoning and permissions need to be set<\/p>\n
Example: smp_dev = \/dev\/bsg\/1:0:0:0 or \/dev\/bsg\/expander-x:x<\/p>\n
Zoning info file for the PHYS of SAS disks and servers on all the expanders including zone groups, if performing any zoning along with the permissions.<\/p>\n
Zone permission file (Sample added below)<\/p>\n
Steps:<\/p>\n
1> Lock the zone for changes:<\/p>\n
smp_zone_lock <smp_dev><\/p>\n
2> Configure SMP zone permissions using the permission file<\/p>\n
smp_conf_zone_perm_tbl –permf=<full path of the permission file>\u00a0–deduce -v <smp_dev><\/p>\n
3> PHY zone configuration<\/p>\n
smp_conf_zone_phy_info –pconf=<full path of the zone configuration file> <smp_dev><\/p>\n
4> Enable Zoning<\/p>\n
smp_ena_dis_zoning <smp_dev><\/p>\n
5> Activate Zone<\/p>\n
smp_zone_activate <smp_dev><\/p>\n
6> Unlock Zone to freeze the changes<\/p>\n
smp_zone_unlock <smp_dev><\/p>\n
7> Discover the list<\/p>\n
smp_discover_list <smp_dev><\/p>\n
8> View the zone permission table<\/p>\n
smp_rep_zone_perm_tbl –bits=12 <smp_dev><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Example of the zone group configuration file as below:<\/p>\n
# Assume starting source zone group is 0, define 25 descriptors<\/p>\n
#Note the ‘–start=10’ so the following descriptors start at source
\n–start=10<\/p>\n
