Adding Host to MDS9000

Question

I recently have been tasked with taking over all SAN initiatives for a departed colleague. We need to add a new windows host to to our SAN. Im looking for some help in adding this host to the MDS9000 switch we have. I have added plenty of hosts to our brocade switches, but have had no experience adding them to our MDS. Any help would be much appreciated.

you need to create a ZONE and add the member (host WWN) to the Zone, and if you want to activate the Zone, add the Zone to the Zoneset. All these should be done in CONFIG mode. Before you create the Zone, you have to create VSAN. Please follow the below steps, Create Vsanconfig t VSAN database  Vsan name  Create Zone and add the host member  config t  zone name vsan  member < pwwn of Host >  Create Zoneset and add the Zone and to activate the newly created Zone config t  zoneset name vsan  member  zoneset activate name vsan  This might be helpful to you
