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.
