Moving zone groups—shared SAS storage enclosures
When using shared SAS storage enclosures, do the following to move zone groups from one server
(original server device bay) to a different server (destination server device bay):
1. Open Virtual SAS Manager (VSM).
2. Identify all zone group assignments for the original server device bay.
a.
In the navigation tree, select the original server device bay and click Modify Zone Access.
•
Zone groups assigned to that server device bay are displayed, indicated with a
check.
•
All available, unassigned zone groups are displayed, but without a check.
b. Record the names of all zone groups assigned to the original server device bay (zone
groups with checks).
3. Determine if the destination server device bay already has access to the same zone groups
as the original server device bay.
a.
In the navigation tree, select the destination server device bay and click Modify Zone
Access.
•
Zone groups assigned to that server device bay are displayed, indicated with a
check.
•
All available, unassigned zone groups are displayed, but without a check.
b. Record the names of all zone groups assigned to the destination server device bay (zone
groups with checks).
4. Determine if further action is needed.
•
If the destination server device bay is already assigned access to the zone groups identified
in step 2, no changes are necessary.
•
If the destination server device bay is not assigned access to the zone groups identified
in step 2, proceed to step 5.
5. Stop all I/O associated with those zone groups and servers. Then, power off all of the
associated servers.
6. In the VSM navigation tree, select the original server device bay and click Modify Zone Access.
Clear the check next to each zone group to remove access to the zone group. Click Save
Changes when done.
7. Assign the zone groups to the destination server device bay.

In the navigation tree, select the destination server device bay and click Modify Zone
Access.

If the server device bay has any zone groups assigned, they are displayed.
•
In addition, all available, unassigned zone groups are displayed, including the zone
groups made available in step 2.
