Using zoningcli to Configure Zoning for the SPARC T3-1 Server

zoningcli provides a CLI tool for configuring zoning on Oracle SPARC T3-1 servers with the following qualifications:

  • Runs Oracle Solaris OS.

  • Has a 16-disk backplane (SAS-2 expander).

  • If your Oracle SPARC T3-1 server is using the two on-board hard disk controllers, the 16–disk backplane must be zoned.

  • If the server is using the SGX-SAS6-R-INT-Z SAS2 internal PCIe RAID HBA, the 16 disk backplane must not be zoned.

zoningcli can split zoning into two separate zones:

  • Zone A (group 10) has the first 8 disks (PHY 0 - 7) and the first controller (PHY 20 -23)

  • Zone B (group 11) has the last 8 disks (PHY 8 - 15) and the second controller (PHY 16-19)

Before attempting to change the server's zoning state, read the product notes pertaining to the 16 disk backplane.

You must have root permission to run zoningcli.

This section covers the topics shown in the following table.
