Zone sets

A zone set is a named group of zones. A zone can be a member of more than one zone set. Each switch

in the fabric maintains its own zoning database containing the active zone set. This zoning database

resides in non-volatile or permanent memory and is therefore retained after a reset. See ”Displaying the

configured and active zone sets” on page 44 for information about displaying the zoning database. The

orphan zone set is created automatically to hold the zones that are not in any set. The orphan zone set

cannot be removed and is not saved on the switch.

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

distributes that zone set and its zones to every switch in the fabric. This zone set is known as the active

zone set.

Zoning database

Each switch has its own zoning database. The zoning database is made up of the active zone set that has

been created on the switch or received from other switches. The switch maintains two copies of the zoning

database: one copy is maintained in temporary memory for editing purposes; the second copy is

maintained in permanent memory. Zoning database edits are made on an individual switch basis and are

not propagated to other switches in the fabric when saved. When a zone set is activated, it is propagated

and saved to temporary memory in each switch in the fabric. If the Interop Auto Save parameter is enabled

in the Zoning Config dialog, the zone set is saved to permanent memory on that switch.

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

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

edit this copy of the active zone set stored on the switch, and activate the updated copy to conveniently

apply the changes to the active zone set. The edited copy then becomes the active zone set.

The Interop Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch receives

from another switch in the fabric will be saved to permanent memory on that switch. See ”Configuring the

zoning database” on page 42 for information about zoning configuration.
