shortcomings of Parallel I/O including:
Addressing for up to 16 million nodes Fibre Channel
Loop (shared) and fabric (switched) transport HBA

Zoning operation
Zone members “see” only other members of the zone
Zones can be configured dynamically based on WWN
Devices can be members of more than one zone
FC-AL zoning allows the creation of private loops on a single hub
Switched fabric zoning can take place at the port or device level
Based on physical switch port
Based on device WWN SAN
Based on LUN ID Disk2 Disk3
