Editing the zoning database

Use the Edit Zoning dialog box (Figure 18) to edit the zoning database of a particular switch or stack. To

open the Edit Zoning dialog box:

1. Select a switch or a stack in the fabric tree.

2. Select Zoning > Edit Zoning.

3. If you selected a stack and the zoning database is not identical on all switches in the stack, choose a

switch from the Select Source Switch list. Changes that you make to this switch are distributed to the

other switches in the stack.

4. Click OK.

Figure 18 Edit Zoning dialog box

To apply zoning to a fabric, choose a zone set and activate it. When you activate a zone set, the switch

distributes that zone set and its zones, excluding aliases, to every switch in the fabric. This zone set is then

known as the active zone set.

Changes can only be made to inactive zone sets. These are stored in flash (non-volatile) memory and

retained after any switch reset. You must configure an inactive zone set to your needs and then activate that

updated zone set to apply the changes to the fabric. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes

that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the fabric. However, in addition to the

merged active zone set, each switch maintains its own original zone set in its zoning database. However,

only one zone set can be active at one time.

NOTE: If the Merge Auto Save parameter is enabled on the Zoning Configuration dialog box, then every

time the active zone set changes, the switch will copy it into an inactive zone set stored on the switch. To

conveniently apply the changes to the active zone set, you can edit the copy of the active zone set, and

then activate the updated copy. The edited copy then becomes the active zone set.

The Edit Zoning dialog box has a Zone Sets tree on the left and a Port/Device (or members) tree on the

right. Both trees use display conventions similar to those used by the fabric tree for expanding and

contracting zone sets, zones, and ports. An expanded port shows the port Fibre Channel address; an

expanded address shows the port World Wide Name. You can select zone sets, zones, and ports in any

one of the following ways:

• Click a zone, zone set, or port icon.

• Right-click to select a zone set or zone, and then open the corresponding popup menu.

• Press and hold down the Shift key while clicking several consecutive icons.

• Press and hold down the Control key while clicking several non-consecutive icons.
