Abstract
A method is performed at a Fibre Channel (FC) switch of an FC switch fabric through which servers connected to the FC switch fabric access logical partitions of a storage array connected to the FC switch fabric. The FC switch receives from the storage array information indicative of port zoning rules and logical partition masking that collectively define which server ports are permitted access to which storage array ports and to which logical partitions of the storage array. The FC switch generates from the information authorization rules for enforcing the port zoning rules and the logical partition masking, and programs the authorization rules into memory. The FC switch receives FC frames from the server ports. The FC frames convey respective input-output (IO) operations destined for the logical partitions. The FC switch authorizes each IO operation based on a lookup of the programmed authorization.
