You can configure the Cisco FC zone driver and lookup service by specifying the following parameters:

Table 1 Configuration Options for zoning_manager

Configuration Option = Default Value

Description

[fc-zone-manager]

cisco_sb_connector= cinder.zonemanager.drivers.cisco.cisco_fc_zone_client_cli.CiscoFCZoneClientCLI

(StrOpt) The Southbound connector for zoning operation.

fc_san_lookup_service= cinder.zonemanager.drivers.cisco.cisco_fc_san_lookup_service.CiscoFCSanLookupService

Cisco recommends that you configure the storage area network (SAN) fabric parameters as fabric groups, shown in the following example:
