Deleting an offline zone database
For pure EOS fabrics in McDATA Fabric Mode (InteropMode 2) or McDATA Open Mode (InteropMode
3) and for mixed Fabric OS and M-EOS fabrics in McDATA Open Mode, you cannot delete the last
available offline zone database, because only offline zoning is supported for these fabrics.
1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.
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
databases for the selected entity.
3. Select the offline zone database you want to delete in the Zone DB list.
NOTE
Only offline databases can be deleted.
4. Select Delete from the Zone DB Operation list.
5. Click Yes on the confirmation message.
The message box closes and, when successful, the selected zone configurations are removed
from the Zone Configurations list.
6. Click OK to save your work and close the Zoning dialog box.
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.
Clearing the fabric zone database
ATTENTION
Clearing the zone database removes all zoning configuration information, including all aliases,
zones, and zone configurations, in the fabric.
Clearing the fabric zone database is disruptive to the fabric.
1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.
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
databases for the selected entity.
3. Select the Fabric Zone DB from the Zone DB list.
4. Select Clear All from the Zone DB Operation list.
5. Click Yes on the confirmation message.
The message box closes and, when successful, the Fabric Zone DB is cleared of all zoning
configurations.
6. Click OK to close the Zoning dialog box.
