System and method for object-centric Storage Area Network (SAN) zoning visualization. Embodiments may provide graphical and/or textual displays and reporting of logical and/or physical zone and zone alias information for SAN objects to users or administrators of a SAN. SAN objects may include any logically or physically zonable SAN component. Embodiments may graphically and/or textually present logical and/or physical zoning information for any SAN object via real-time displays and/or reporting in response to selecting the object. All of the zones, and zone aliases, if any, of which a SAN object is a logical and/or physical member may be determined and displayed, along with other relevant information including the mechanisms by which the SAN object is logically zoned. Embodiments may provide mechanisms through which a user may navigate through the displayed zoning information to view zoning information for other SAN objects and/or zone-centric information for the zones and zone aliases.
