• Ensure that there are multiple paths between switches. Disabling failover locks the specified
route so that only TI zone traffic can use it.
ATTENTION
If failover is disabled, use care when planning your TI zones so that non-TI zone devices are not
isolated. If disabled failover is not used correctly, it can cause major fabric disruptions that are
difficult to resolve.
You cannot disable failover if the TI zone was created in the base fabric or in a fabric in which a
logical switch is configured to use XISLs (the Base Fabric for Transport check box is selected).
1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.
The Zoning dialog box displays.
2. Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.
3. Select an FC fabric from the Zoning Scope list.
This identifies the target entity for all subsequent zoning actions and displays the zoning
database for the selected entity.
4. Right-click the traffic isolation zone you want to disable failover on in the Zones list and clear
the Configured Failover check box.
5. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.
A message displays informing you that any zones or zone configurations you have changed will
be saved in the zone database, and warning you to make sure no other user is making changes
to the same areas.
Zoning administration
This section provides instructions for performing administrative functions with zoning. You can
rename, duplicate, delete, and perform other tasks on zone members, zones, and zone
configurations.
Comparing zone databases
You can compare zone databases against one another to identify any and all differences between
their membership prior to sending them to the switch. Once the two databases have been
compared, icons display to show the differences between the two databases. These icons are
illustrated and described in Table 37.
