Kilo - Kilo - Kilo - Kilo - Kilo - Kilo - Kilo - Kilo -

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 2.43. 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
`fc_san_lookup_service` = `cinder.zonemanager.drivers.brocade.brcd_fc_san_lookup_service.BrcdFCSanLookupService`	(StrOpt) FC SAN Lookup Service
`zone_driver` = `cinder.zonemanager.drivers.brocade.brcd_fc_zone_driver.BrcdFCZoneDriver`	(StrOpt) FC Zone Driver responsible for zone management
`zoning_policy` = `initiator-target`	(StrOpt) Zoning policy configured by user; valid values include "initiator-target" or "initiator"

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`
