Isilon access segmentation and security best practices

Question

I have an Isilon NAS, and I would like different machines to be able to access different segments of the storage (volumes, NFS shares, for example). Example: Machine A should only have network access to the volume/share called Foo.Machine B should only have network access to the volume/share called Bar. Currently, both of my machines have one network interface in the same network as the storage, such that machine A can talk to machine B, and it can also potentially access all the volumes/shares, which is something that I want to avoid. How do I configure the NAS such that the machines can be completely separated from each other, and can only access one designated volume/share?

Maybe you want access zones. https://community.emc.com/community/products/isilon/blog/2019/08/21/onefs-multi-tenancy-and-zone-aware-access-control

1. NAS not SAN 2. If 1 is an indication, get EMC professional services involved.
