System requirements

Cisco Fibre Channel Zone Driver automates the zoning operations through SSH. Configure Cisco Zone Driver, Cisco Southbound connector, FC SAN lookup service and Fabric name.

Set the following options in the cinder.conf configuration file.

[fc-zone-manager]
zone_driver = cinder.zonemanager.drivers.cisco.cisco_fc_zone_driver.CiscoFCZoneDriver
fc_san_lookup_service = cinder.zonemanager.drivers.cisco.cisco_fc_san_lookup_service.CiscoFCSanLookupService
fc_fabric_names = CISCO_FABRIC_EXAMPLE
cisco_sb_connector = cinder.zonemanager.drivers.cisco.cisco_fc_zone_client_cli.CiscoFCZoneClientCLI

Table 2.46. Description of cisco zoning manager configuration options
Configuration option = Default value	Description
[fc-zone-manager]
`cisco_sb_connector` = `cinder.zonemanager.drivers.cisco.cisco_fc_zone_client_cli.CiscoFCZoneClientCLI`	(StrOpt) Southbound connector for zoning operation

Configure SAN fabric parameters in the form of fabric groups as described in the example below:

Table 2.47. Description of cisco zoning fabrics configuration options
Configuration option = Default value	Description
[CISCO_FABRIC_EXAMPLE]
`cisco_fc_fabric_address` =	(StrOpt) Management IP of fabric
`cisco_fc_fabric_password` =	(StrOpt) Password for user
`cisco_fc_fabric_port` = `22`	(IntOpt) Connecting port
`cisco_fc_fabric_user` =	(StrOpt) Fabric user ID
`cisco_zone_activate` = `True`	(BoolOpt) overridden zoning activation state
`cisco_zone_name_prefix` = `None`	(StrOpt) overridden zone name prefix
`cisco_zoning_policy` = `initiator-target`	(StrOpt) overridden zoning policy
`cisco_zoning_vsan` = `None`	(StrOpt) VSAN of the Fabric

Note

	Note
Define a fabric group for each fabric using the fabric names used in `fc_fabric_names` configuration option as group name. The Cisco Fibre Channel Zone Driver supports basic and enhanced zoning modes.The zoning VSAN must exist with an active zone set name which is same as the `fc_fabric_names` option.
