3.6.4Manually Configure Zone Sets The Manually Configure Zone Sets commands enable you to manually create, view, activate/deactivate, and delete zone sets.

3.6.4.1Change Zone Manager Use the Change Zone Manager Password command to change the password used to

Password

manage the zoning expanders in the domain. When the window appears, type the

 

current password in the indicated field. Then type the new password and type it again

 

to confirm it. Passwords are text strings that consist of any valid ASCII character. The

 

maximum password length is 32 characters.

 

If you enter a null string, the password is set to its default value, ZERO (32 bytes of

 

binary 0), as defined by the SAS 2.0 specification.

3.6.4.2 Create Zone Set

Use the Create Zone Set command to create a new zone set. You can click on the matrix

 

to indicate that both zone groups in the associated row/column may communicate

 

with one another. A blank cell indicates that the two zone groups may not

 

communicate. A dash in a cell indicates an illegal selection because of a phy conflict

 

between zone groups. A phy can be a member of one zone group per zone set.

 

To see the details of a particular zone group, click the zone group link in the left column

 

of the matrix.
