  • 1.  IBM FS9500 Zoning

    Posted Fri March 03, 2023 11:59 AM

    Hi Team,

    With a single FS9500 (8 FC-ports per Node Canister), is there a need to create internode zoning?
    System will not be used for replication and or clustering with other systems.

    Thanks.

    Hi T Masteen,

    while there is no more hard requirement for inter-node zoning, as there was in the early Storwize days, it still could be beneficial to have FC interconnection as a fallback.
