Explanation of the Zone Zoneset Vsan for Cisco MDS switching

First zone members are two WWN numbers, one is the HBA card on the server and one is the HBA card on the storage. You specify a vsan when creating a zone. The I/O between sever and storage does not change, regardless of the cable on the switch.

The members of the Zonset are zone, and Vsan is also specified.

The members of the Vsan are ports, such as FC1/1, FC1/2.

The initial time all ports belong to Vsan1, but Vsan1 did not join any zone, so it is not effective, so decommssion, delete Vsan actually to put the port back Vsan1 no off Vsan, Tip: Direct no off Vsan, The port inside does not go back to vsan1 itself, but to an unknown area that has not been tested.
