| + | For stretched systems that use the enhanced configuration functions, **storage systems that are configured to one of the main sites (1 or 2) need be zoned only to be visible by the nodes in that site**. Storage systems in site 3 or storage systems that have no site that is defined must be zoned to all nodes. | ||
