Zones and RSCN
Hello,
I'm new to SANs so please excuse my ignorance. I've been reading about zoning and RSCNs. From what I've read RSCNs are sent to all members of a zone after a change in the port status occurs on a port in that zone. For example, if all servers are in the same zone, and one of them is rebooted, an RSCN is sent to all the other hosts in that same zone to notify them of the event. At this time are the other hosts in the zone "knocked offline" termporarily while they do name server refresh? How can you prevent this? I've read a post that somebody said to create one zone per port, this way it won't affect any other hosts. What can you do if you have a backup type environment where all hosts need to speak to one host (the backup server)? -TIA |
