Duplicating a zone

When you duplicate a zone, you make a copy of it in the same zone database. The first time a zone is duplicated, the duplicate is automatically given the name <zonelabel>_copy. On subsequent duplications, a sequential number is assigned to the zone name, such as <zonelabel>_copy_1, <zonelabel>_copy_2, and <zonelabel>_copy_3.

1.Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric. The Zoning dialog box displays.

2.Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.

3.Select a fabric from the Zoning Scope list.

This identifies the target entity for all subsequent zoning actions and displays the zoning database for the selected entity.

4.Select one or more zones in the Zones list that you want to duplicate, then right-click and select Duplicate.

The duplicated zone or zones display in the Zones list.

5.(Optional) Type a new name for the zone and press Enter to save the name.

Depending on the characters included in the name you enter, a message may display informing you the name contains characters that are not accepted by some switch vendors. Click OK and enter a different name or accept the default name assigned to the zone. (For zone name requirements and limitations, refer to “Zoning naming conventions” on page 639.)
