Adding Zone Members
Adding a zone member to a zone will affect 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 worldwide name in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone. To select and drag multiple ports/devices, press and hold the Control key while dragging.
■Select one or more ports by port number, Fibre Channel address, or worldwide name in the Port/Device tree.
Choose the Apply button 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.
