Managing zone configuration comparison alerts
You can turn off the automatic zone configuration comparison function if you no longer want to see
two of the alert messages that the comparison can produce. When a zone configuration is
successfully activated, the comparison function can display an alert icon if either of two conditions
exist.
The messages in question are “The active zone configuration does not exist in the zone database”
and “The active zone configuration does not match <zone configuration> in the zone database.” To
turn off the icons and the messages, complete the following steps.
1. After successfully activating a zone configuration, click the Active Zone Configuration tab.
2. Select the check box labeled Turn off the comparison alerts between the active zone
configuration and the zone database.
Any existing alert icons and messages are cleared and further comparisons are prevented.
The check box selection defaults to the last setting per user.
Setting change limits on zoning activation
Use this procedure to set a limit on the number of changes a user can make to the zone database
before activating a zone configuration. If the user exceeds the limit, zone configuration activation is
not allowed. By default, all fabrics allow unlimited changes. Changes include adding, removing, or
modifying zones, aliases, and zone configurations.
Using the following procedure you can do the following:
• Set a different limit for each fabric.
• Set limits on some fabrics while allowing other fabrics to have unlimited changes.
• Set a limit for fabrics that will be discovered later.
NOTE
You must have the Zoning Set Edit Limits privilege to perform this task.
1. Select Configure > Zoning > Set Change Limits.
The Set Change Limits for Zoning Activation dialog box displays.
2. Click Change Count for the fabric on which you want to set limits.
The field changes to an editable field.
