Disk Zone Status (probe-scsi-all)

The following probe-scsi-all output examples show the difference in how storage devices are listed when zoning is enabled and when it is disabled. There are 10 disks represented in both examples. They are identified as PhyNum 0-9.


Note - The entries for PhyNum 1-6 are omitted in these examples to reduce the size of the examples. The missing entries would not alter the illustration of the concept.


Zoning is disabled:

When zoning is disabled, each disk is visible to both controllers. The following example shows this by listing every disk with controller 0 and with controller 1.


Tip - Note that SASDeviceName and SASAddress for each PhyNum listed under controller 1 matches the corresponding PhyNum’s DeviceName and SASAddress listed under controller 0. This is true for PhyNum 1-6, which were omitted to reduce the size of the table.

Zoning is enabled:

In the following example, zoning is enabled and each disk is shown connected to a single SAS-2 controller. PhyNum 0-7 are connected to controller 0 and PhyNum 8-9 are connected to controller 1.
