Hi All,

We have noticed that cisco MDS 9509 configuration show a mix of dynamic and other set of configurations..these configurations were done by EMC CE and one of our support contractors.

What we have noticed is that EMC configuration has dynamic and other support contractor doesnt reflect that its dynamic.

What are the implications involved with such a configuration? whether we still have portability on switches by just moving the FC cables from one port to another on MDS?

Checked config on mds 9509 some have zone members with pWWN (EMC configured) and other (support contractor) configuration with fc interface. What are best recommendations while configuring the zones on mds 9509, because there are many options of adding/configuring the member with pWWN, or interface or sWWN or fcalias?

Please provide your feedback on above questions raised.

regards,
Samir
