Abstract
Techniques are provided for the creation of a peer zone definition for use in a Fibre Channel (FC) Fabric. The peer zone definition defines a peer zone in which two or more initiator host devices are each permitted to communicate with a target device, but the two or more initiator host devices are prevented from communicating with each other. In accordance with one example, a target device and of two or more initiator host devices connected to the FC Fabric are received. A peer zone definition is created, and the peer zone definition is transmitted to the switches composing the FC Fabric for enforcement.
