FS intra-cluster zoning for backup communication path

  • 1.  FS intra-cluster zoning for backup communication path

    Hello experts !

    Would like to check how you are zoning FC intra-cluster/internode backup path for a single I/O group.. Giving as example, where 4 ports of each node are/will be used for host access, split in fabrics A and B.. For intra-cluster communication purposes, do you just zone all 4 ports (2 from node_1 and 2 from node_2, on each fabric) all together, or do you split zones so each node won't reach its own FC ports? What would be a major concern with these options, if any, in your opinion? 

    My best regards to you all.
