cool, so let's go through the steps:  1) Create fcalias for each HBA  config t fcalias name newserver vsan 201 member pwwn 10:00:00:00:c9:96:XX:XX exit end  2) Create zone  config t zone name zone_newserver_dmx4 vsan 201 member fcalias newserver member fcalias dmx4alias exit  3) Add zone to active zone set  to view current zoneset name run this command: sh zoneset vsan 201 | grep "zoneset name"  config t zoneset name vsan 201 member zone_newserver_dmx4 end  4) Active zoneset  config t zoneset activate name vsan 201 sh zoneset active vsan 201
Just a note.. all I have is the CLI (no Fabric Manager) on the Cisco MDS.  I'm adding a RHEL 5.8 box to the SAN.  HBA cards are configured in the server, wired up to the Cisco SAN Switch.  Now I'm stuck on this whole "zoning" thing so the server can see the DMX4.  On the switch:  show fcns database  VSAN 1: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FCID        TYPE  PWWN                    (VENDOR)        FC4-TYPE:FEATURE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0xe4000c    N     10:00:00:00:c9:96:14:93 (Emulex)        scsi-fcp:init   Total number of entries = 1  Thats the WWN of one of the HBA cards in the RHEL server.  So the switch sees the card.  I'm lost from here.

I also need to name the pwwn like he did the others.  I would assume I would join the new pwwn to the 201 VSAN since thats where mostly everything is.  But I'm completely lost anyway, so I probably don't even know what I'm talking about.
