The best practice is to configure single initiator zoning.
We take a single initiator port and put it into a zone, then into that same zone
we will add the target addresses of the devices that initiator can use.
A device can be in more than one zone, but you still want to configure single
initiator zoning. A single initiator refers to a single host port, if a host has two
or more ports for redundancy, then a separate zone should be created for
each port.
It is easier to add/remove devices or to reconfigure zone information when
using single initiator zoning.
