Managing Zone Sets
Zoning a fabric involves creating a zone set, creating zones as zone set members,
then adding devices as zone members. The zoning database supports multiple
zone sets to serve the different security and access needs of your storage area
network, but only one zone set can be active at one time. Managing zone sets
consists of the following tasks:
„
Creating a Zone Set
„
Activating and Deactivating a Zone Set
„
Copying a Zone to a Zone Set
„
Removing a Zone Set
CAUTION!
This command will deactivate the active zone set.
NOTE:
Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed
switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to
configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the
individual switches.
