Managing Zone Sets

Zoning a fabric involves creating a zone set, creating zones as zone set members, then adding devices as zone members. The zoning database supports multiple zone sets to serve the different security and access needs of your storage area network, but only one zone set can be active at one time. Managing zone sets consists of the following tasks:

■Creating zone sets

■Activating and deactivating zone sets

■Copying a zone to a zone set

■Removing a zone from one zone set or from all zone sets

■Removing a zone set

■Removing all zoning definitions

Note: Changes that you make to the zoning database behave as follows:

■In SW2 merge mode, changes to configured zone sets are limited to the managed switch 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 switches.

■In Brocade merge mode, when a zone set is activated, the entire zoning database, including any changes, is distributed from the managed switch throughout the fabric.
