Automatic FC zoning on Brocade and Cisco MDS fabrics
- Register one switch per fabric (or per Cisco VSAN / Brocade virtual fabric) with
pvesan fabric add, or in the new Fabrics tab. The switch's certificate is pinned.pvesan fabric status <fabric>lists every logged-in port and the node or array it belongs to. pvesan array zone-plan <array>shows, per fabric, single-initiator zones pairing each node port with the array ports on that fabric.pvesan array zone <array>creates or extends them, adds them to the zone set and activates it.- In the GUI, adding an array offers to zone it to the host cluster, then to register the hosts. Arrays > Auto-zone opens the same plan at any time.
- Safety: fabrics with an open zoning change, or a zone set with saved but inactive changes, are refused. A change the switch rejects is aborted. Zones are never removed or renamed.
- Brocade needs Fabric OS 8.2.1+ with REST and an HTTPS certificate; Cisco MDS needs
feature nxapi. A new or factory-reset fabric needs--zoneset <name>. See Runbook P20. - Not yet run against a real switch: try it first on a fabric where a zoning mistake does no harm, and back up the zoning configuration.
Arrays: IBM Spectrum Virtualize and InfiniBox now report their FC target ports, so the zoning hints and auto-zoning know them.
Upgrade: apt update && apt install pve-fcsan on each node, one at a time. Then check pvesan-integrate status.
