Modifying the Zoning Database
To modify the zoning database, you must open an Admin session with the Admin Start command. An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes at the same time through Telnet, Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or another management application. You must also open a Zoning Edit session with the Zoning Edit command. The Zoning Edit session provides access to the Zoneset, Zone, Alias, and Zoning commands with which you make modifications to the zoning database.
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> zoning edit

When you are finished making changes, enter the Zoning Save command to save the changes and close the Zoning Edit session.

To close the Zoning Edit session without saving changes, enter the Zoning Cancel command.

Changes to the active zone set do not take effect until you activate it with the Zoneset Activate command. The active zone set is propagated throughout the fabric.
SANbox (admin)#> zoneset activate zoneset_1
SANbox (admin)#> admin end
The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators when you are done making changes to the switch.
To remove all zoning database objects (aliases, zones, and zone sets) and restore the zoning database to its factory state, enter the Reset Zoning command as shown in the following example:
SANbox (admin) #> reset zoning
