Create new zone

You can use the Create new zone panel to specify zone properties for a new zone for a volume, a virtual disk (VDisk), or a managed disk (MDisk).

If the host ports that were selected during volume creation are not in the same zone as the storage device ports, you can use this panel to create a new zone that contains both the host and storage device ports.
