Replacing an offline device by name

aliases in the selected zone DB.
To replace an offline device by name, complete the following steps.

The Zoning dialog box displays.
2. 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.
3. Select Offline Utility from the Zone DB Operation list.
The Offline Device Management dialog box displays.
4. Make sure the Remove column check box, for the offline device you want to replace, is clear.
5. Select Name (default is WWN) in the corresponding Replace Using list.
6. Select the name of the offline device in the corresponding Replace Using list.
If the selected name has multiple device or device port WWNs assigned (names are set to
non-unique in Management application), the Device or Device Port WWN of Non-unique Name
dialog box displays. The WWN list includes all device and device port WWNs assigned to the
selected name.
7. Select the WWN you want to use from the WWN list and click OK.
