Abstract
Zone information is automatically and dynamically configured and managed in a fiber channel storage area network upon detection of network events. Some examples of events that trigger automatic dynamic zone updates include virtual port creation, intrusion/anomaly detection, arbitration decision completion, misconfiguration detection, and device malfunction. The newly created/updated zones are propagated through the fiber channel fabric and provide access control.
