HP SAN manual Managing the active zone set, Restoring the default zoning database

Page 43

Restoring the default zoning database

Restoring the default zoning clears the switch of all zoning definitions. Restoring default zoning is a fabric-wide action. When you are in Standard mode and restore default zoning, no devices/ports are able to communicate with each other on the switches. When in McDATA mode, restoring default zoning, all devices/ports are able to communicate with each other if Default Zone is enabled, and no devices/ports are able to communicate with each other if Default Zone is disabled.

CAUTION: This command will deactivate the active zone set.

To restore the default zoning for a switch:

1.Select Zoning > Restore Default Zoning in the faceplate display.

2.Click OK to confirm that you want to restore default zoning and save changes to the zoning database.

Removing all zoning definitions

To clear all zone and zone set definitions from the zoning database, choose one of the following:

•Select Edit > Clear Zoning. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete all zones and zone sets in the Removes All dialog.

•Right-click the Zone Sets heading at the top of the Zone Sets tree. Select Clear Zoning from the popup menu. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete all zone sets and zones.

Managing the active zone set

Zoning a fabric involves creating a zone set, creating zones as zone set members, then adding devices as zone members. The zoning database supports one zone set to serve the security and access needs of your storage area network. Managing the active zone set consists of the following tasks:

•Displaying the configured and active zone sets, page 44

•Creating a zone set, page 45

•Activating and deactivating a zone set, page 45

•Removing a zone set, page 45

NOTE: 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 McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch in the fabric. If a McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch has the Interop Auto Save parameter enabled in the Zoning Config dialog, the zone set is saved to permanent memory on that switch.
