Configuring and Activating Zones for iSLB Initiators and Initiator Targets

</h1>
<a name="wp1083463"> </a><p class="pBody">
You can configure a zone name where the iSLB initiators and initiator targets are added. If you do not 
specify a zone name, the IPS manager creates one dynamically.

</p>
<a name="wp1083591"> </a><p class="pBody">
iSLB zone sets have the following restrictions:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1083464"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Auto-zoning of the initiator with the initiator targets is enabled by default.
</li>
<a name="wp1083465"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">A zone set must be active in a VSAN for auto-zones to be created in that VSAN.
</li>
<a name="wp1083467"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">iSLB zone set activation might fail if another zone set activation is in process or if the zoning 
database is locked. Retry the iSLB zone set activation if a failure occurs. To avoid this problem, only 
perform only one zoning related operation (normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB zones) at a time.
</li>
<a name="wp1083468"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Auto-zones are created when the zone set is activated and there has been at least one change in the 
zoneset. The activation has no effect if only the auto-zones have changed. 
</li>
<a name="wp1083469"> </a><p class="pCaution">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<strong>Caution	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong>
</td>
<td>
<p>If IVR and iSLB are enabled in the same fabric, at least one switch in the fabric must have both features 
enabled. Any zoning related configuration or activation operation (for normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB 
zones) must be performed on this switch. Otherwise, traffic might be disrupted in the fabric.
