Adding zone members

Adding a zone member to a zone affects every zone set in which that zone is a member. To add member ports/devices to a zone, do one of the following:

Select a port by port number, Fibre Channel address, or World Wide Name in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone. To select and drag multiple ports/devices, press and hold Ctrl while dragging.

Select one or more ports by port number, Fibre Channel address, or World Wide Name in the Port/Device tree. Right-click the zone and then select Add Zone Members from the menu.

Select Edit > Create Members. Choose the WWN, Domain/Port, or First Port Address option and enter the port hex value.

Click Apply to save changes to the zoning database.

Note: 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.
