Adding zone members
You can zone a port/device by switch domain ID and port number, device port
Fibre Channel address, or the device port WWN. Adding a port/device to a zone
affects every zone set in which that zone is a member. To add ports/devices to a
zone, do the following:
1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog.
2. Choose one of the following methods to add the port/device:
• Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone. To
select multiple ports/devices, press the Control key while selecting.
• Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. To select multiple ports/devices,
press the Control key while selecting. Select a zone set in the left pane. Open
the Edit menu and select Add Members.
• Select a port/device in the Port/Device tree. To select multiple ports/devices,
press the Control key while selecting. Select a zone set in the left pane. Click
the Insert button.
If the port/device you want to add is not in the Port/Device tree, you can add it
by doing the following:
a. Right-click the selected zone.
b. Open the Edit menu and select Create Members.
c. Select the WWN, Domain/Port, or First Port Address option.
d. Enter the hexadecimal value for the port/device according to the option
selected: 16 digits for a WWN member, 4 digits for a Domain/Port member
(DDPP), or a 6-digit Fibre Channel Address for a First Port Address member
(DDPPAA) where D=domain ID, P=port number, and A=ALPA.
3. Click the OK button to display the Error Check dialog.
4. Click the Error Check button to have the application check for zoning conflicts,
such as empty zones, aliases, or zone sets.
5. Click the Save Zoning button to implement the changes.
6. Click the Close button to close the Error Check dialog.
7. On the Edit Zoning dialog, click the Close button to close the Edit Zoning dialog.
Notes:
Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch domain IDs.
These reassignments are not reflected in zones that use domain ID/port number
pair to define their membership. Be sure to reconfigure zones that are affected by a
domain ID change.
Renaming a zone
To rename a zone, do the following:
1. In the Zone Sets tree of the Edit Zoning dialog, click the zone to be renamed.
2. Open the Edit menu and select Rename.
3. In the Rename Zone dialog, enter a new name for the zone.
4. Click the OK button.
