Scripts for zoning
Hi ppl,
We have alround 300 server connected with DMX3, CX series frame, now recently we have purchased new AMS array from HDS. now all 300 servers need to be migrated to new frame, which required zoning in switch. Its difficult to do zoning one by one for each servers. Is there any scripts available to do zoning?
Environment:
Directors/Switchs : Brocade, Cisco, McData
Host : Windows, Linux, HPUX, ESX, Solaris
Management software: Connectrix
If scripts are not possible, then what is the best way to do this task?
No Events found!

I only have Cisco switches in my infrastructure (it has been a long time since I used a McDATA or Brocade) so this is only relevent to the Cisco switches. With Cisco you can configure all of your WWN aliases and zones before hand in a SAN-OS config text file and then upload that to the switch using the 'copy ftp:configfile.txt running-config' command.
Take a look at a current startup-config and take a look at how the aliases and zones are created in the text file. Use that as a template for creating all of you aliases and zones in a text file and then copy that text file to the running-config. All you need to know are the pWWN of the devices you will be creating zones for.
After you copy the config file to the running-config then use Fabric Manager to add all the newly created zones into the active Zoneset and activate it.
