VSANs
VSAN 1 is the management VSAN and is not intended to be used for production traffic. Very simple process to create a VSAN and add the interfaces to it:
vsan database
vsan 10 name "TEST"
vsan 10 interface fc1/1
vsan 10 interface fc1/4
Disks are now on VSAN 10
MDS1# sh scsi-target disk

Zones and Zonesets
First lets see some details on how zoning is configured for VSAN 10:
MDS1# sh zone status vsan 10
VSAN: 10 default-zone: permit distribute: full Interop: default
mode: basic merge-control: allow
session: none
hard-zoning: enabled broadcast: disabled
Default zone:
qos: none broadcast: disabled ronly: disabled
Full Zoning Database :
DB size: 4 bytes
Zonesets:0 Zones:0 Aliases: 0
Active Zoning Database :
Database Not Available
So I will create a zone and add the two 300GB FC disks to it:
MDS1(config)# zone name TEST-ZONE vsan 10
MDS1(config-zone)# member device-alias DISK-300GB-1
MDS1(config-zone)# member device-alias DISK-300GB-2
Then create a zoneset and add the zone to it:
MDS1(config)# zoneset name TEST-ZONESET vsan 10
MDS1(config-zoneset)# member TEST-ZONE
The final step is to activate the zoneset:
MDS1(config)# zoneset activate name TEST-ZONESET vsan 10
Zoneset activation initiated. check zone status
You can see from the following output that the two 300GB drives are in the new TEST-ZONE and the 174GB and the HBA are in the default zone. When I rescan the HBA in vSphere, I only see the 174GB drive as expected.
I'll add the 174GB drive and HBA to the new zone, activate and rescan the HBA:
MDS1# sh zoneset active vsan 10
zoneset name TEST-ZONESET vsan 10
zone name TEST-ZONE vsan 10
* fcid 0x77004d [pwwn 22:00:00:18:62:07:ff:e1] [DISK-300GB-1]
* fcid 0x77004e [pwwn 22:00:00:11:c6:31:f7:bd] [DISK-300GB-2]
* fcid 0x770051 [pwwn 22:00:00:11:c6:f5:1a:f2] [DISK-174GB-1]
* fcid 0x770100 [pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:6e:b6:21] [HELLA-HBA]
Took quite awhile for the rescan to finish but all the disks show up again:
