Zone
Overview
A zone is a logical group of resources such as clusters, L2 networks, and primary storages. Zone is the largest resource scope defined in ZStack Cloud.
When you organize a zone, note that:
- Hosts in the same physical layer 2 broadcast domain must be in the same zone. These hosts can be grouped as one or more clusters.
- A physical layer 2 broadcast domain cannot span multiple zones. Instead, it must be mapped as an L2 network in a single zone.
- A primary storage cannot span multiple zones. Instead, it should be mapped as the primary storage in a single zone.
- A data center can have multiple zones.
- A zone can have one or more backup storages attached.
- Resources in a zone, such as a primary storage, can only access the backup storage that is attached to the zone.
- A backup storage can be detached from a zone. After the backup storage is detached, resources in the zone will not see the backup storage any more.
- If a backup storage is no longer accessible to resources of a zone due to network typology changes in a data center, you can detach the backup storage from this zone.

Sample
{ "createDate": "Oct 16, 2017 2:11:40 PM", "description": "", "lastOpDate": "Oct 24, 2017 10:52:31 AM", "name": "SH", "state": "Enabled", "type": "zstack", "uuid": "61092e77aedd41f0b8857b40652e5b1e" }State
- A zone has the following two states: Enabled and Disabled.
- When you change the state of a zone, the change operation will be cascaded to all clusters and hosts that belong to the zone.
- For example, disabling a zone will change the state of all clusters and hosts in this zone to Disabled. Because no VM instance can be created or started on a disabled host, you can put a zone into Disabled state to prevent any VM instances from being created or started in this zone. This will not affect the use and restart of existing VM instances.
