Managing zones
Renaming a zone set
To rename a zone set, do the following:
1. In the Zone Sets tree of the Edit Zoning dialog, click the zone set to be renamed.
2. Open the Edit menu and select Rename.
3. In the Rename Zone Set dialog, enter a new name for the zone set.
4. Click the OK button.
Removing a zone set
Removing a zone set from the database affects the member zones in the following
ways:
• Member zones that are members of other zone sets are not affected.
• Zones that are currently not in a zone set are considered to be part of the “orphan
zone set.” The orphan zone set is not an actual zone set, but rather a way of
displaying the zones that are not currently in a zone set.
To remove a zone set, do the following:
1. Open the Zoning menu and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog.
2. In the Zone Sets tree, select the zone set to be removed.
3. Open the Edit menu, and select Remove to remove the zone set.
4. Click the Apply button to save changes to the zoning database.
Alternatively, you may use shortcut menus to remove a zone set from the database.
Managing zones involves the following:
• Creating a zone in a zone set
• Adding zone members
• Renaming a zone
• Removing a zone member
• Removing a zone from a zone set
• Removing a zone from all zone sets
Notes:
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.
