Editing the Zoning Database

To edit the zoning database for a particular switch, open the Zoning menu from the faceplate display and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog shown in Figure 3-7. Changes can only be made to inactive zone sets, which are stored in flash (non-volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch.

Figure 3-7. Edit Zoning Dialog

To apply zoning to a fabric, choose a zone set and activate it. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set and its zones, excluding aliases, to every switch in the fabric. This zone set is known as the active zone set.

You can not edit an active zone set on a switch. You must configure an inactive zone set to your needs and then activate that updated zone set to apply the changes to the fabric. When you activate a zone set, the switch distributes that zone set to the temporary zoning database on every switch in the fabric. However, in addition to the merged active zone set, each switch maintains its own original zone set in its zoning database. Only one zone set can be active at one time.
