Configure Block Storage to use Fibre Channel Zone Manager

Juno - Juno - Juno - Juno - Juno - Juno - Juno - Juno -

If Block Storage is configured to use a Fibre Channel volume driver that supports Zone Manager, update cinder.conf to add the following configuration options to enable Fibre Channel Zone Manager.

Make the following changes in the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file.

Table 1.39. Description of zoning configuration options
Configuration option = Default value	Description
[DEFAULT]
zoning_mode = none	(StrOpt) FC Zoning mode configured
[fc-zone-manager]
fc_fabric_names = None	(StrOpt) Comma separated list of fibre channel fabric names. This list of names is used to retrieve other SAN credentials for connecting to each SAN fabric
zoning_policy = initiator-target	(StrOpt) Zoning policy configured by user

To use different Fibre Channel Zone Drivers, use the parameters described in this section.

	Note
	When multi backend configuration is used, provide the `zoning_mode` configuration option as part of the volume driver configuration where `volume_driver` option is specified.

	Note
	Default value of `zoning_mode` is `None` and this needs to be changed to `fabric` to allow fabric zoning.

	Note
	`zoning_policy` can be configured as `initiator-target` or `initiator`
