Activating a zone configuration

When a zone configuration is active, its members can communicate with one another. Only one zone configuration can be active at any given time.

NOTE

•You do not have access privileges to activate zone configurations. You will not be able to activate a zone configuration unless your access privileges are redefined.

•The fabric is not manageable.

•You do not have Read/Write or Activate privileges for the selected fabric and the selected zone database (for FC fabrics and Network OS fabrics only).
