I'd just like to chip in and say that you're alright with multiple
targets (destinations) in a zone but you should only have one initiator
(host) per zone.

We have and HP SAN. Two FC switches, 16 port each. Two Libraries, each
connected to only one of the FC switches. I created zones for each link.
A SAN storage node would have four links/zones:

HOST1 HBA1 - SWITCH1 - LIB1
HOST1 HBA1 - SWITCH1 - STORAGE BLOCK1 INTERFACE1
HOST1 HBA2 - SWITCH2 - LIB2
HOST1 HBA2 - SWITCH2 - STORAGE BLOCK1 INTERFACE2

Zoning is configured on the FC switches. It's quite easy on the HP
switches. The best thing to do is to create an overview of the WWN
(World Wide Names) of each HBA and create an ALIAS for it on the FC
switch (like HOST1A (Host1, adapter A). Next create zones for each link;
mapping a source to a destination. Try to prevent having more
destinations in one zone.

Your SAN administrator should know all about this and if you are the SAN
administrator, try to make this material your own.

Kind regards,

Pascal
