Duplicating a zone configuration
When you duplicate a zone configuration, you make a copy of it in the same zone database. The
first time a zone configuration is duplicated, the duplicate is automatically given the name
<zonesetlabel>_copy. On subsequent times, a sequential number is assigned to the zone name,
such as <zonesetlabel>_copy_1, <zonesetlabel>_copy_2, and <zonesetlabel>_copy_3.
Note that these naming conventions apply both to duplicate and deep duplicate operations.
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. Select one or more zone configurations in the Zone Configs list that you want to duplicate, then
right-click and select one of the following options:
- Duplicate - to duplicate the zone configuration or configurations.
- Deep Duplicate - to duplicate the zone configuration or configurations and all included
zones.
The duplicated zone configuration or sets display in the Zone Configs list.
