Intel SBCEFCSW manual Managing zones, Removing a zone set, Removing all zoning definitions

Removing a zone set

Removing a zone set from the database affects the member zones in the following ways:

•Member zones that are members of other zone sets are not affected.

•Member zones that are not members of other zone sets become members of the orphan zone set. The orphan zone set is saved on the switch module.

Complete the following steps to remove a zone set from the database:

1.In the Faceplate window, click Zoning / Edit Zoning. The Edit Zoning window opens.

2.In the Zone Sets tree, select the zone set to be removed.

3.Click Edit / Remove to remove the zone set.

4.Click Apply to save changes to the zoning database.

✏NOTE

You can use shortcut menus to remove a zone set from the database.

Removing all zoning definitions

To remove all zone and zone set definitions from the zoning database, use one of the following methods:

•Click Edit / Remove All. In the Remove All window, click Yes to confirm that you want to delete all zones and zone sets.

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

Managing zones

Managing zones involves the following tasks:

•Creating a zone in a zone set

•Adding zone members

•Renaming a zone or a zone set

•Removing a zone member

•Removing a zone from a zone set

•Removing a zone from all zone sets

•Changing zone types

✏NOTE

Changes to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch module and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric-wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switch modules.

Creating a zone in a zone set

When a zone is created, its zone type is soft. To change the zone type to a hard zone, see “Changing zone types” on page 97 for more information. See “Zones” on page 89 for information on soft and hard zone types. Complete the following steps to create a zone in a zone set:

1.In the Faceplate window, click Zoning / Edit Zoning. The Edit Zoning window opens.

2.Click Edit / Create a Zone. The Create a Zone window opens.

3.Type a name for the new zone and click OK. The new zone name is displayed in the Zone Sets window.

✏NOTE

If you type the name of a zone that already exists in the database, the SAN Utility will create a copy of that zone and its membership in the zone set.
