Storage connectivity not only requires the configuration of connectivity protocols such as FC, FCoE, and iSCSI, but in the case of FC and FCoE SAN connectivity, it is also required to configure zoning to allow access to servers/hypervisors to the SAN LUNs. When using Cisco switches for SAN connectivity, it is also recommended to configure VSANs along with proper zoning. We will now look into zoning and VSANs.
