4. Select a configuration in the dialog box.
• If you select a non-effective configuration, the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone will be added into
that configuration. The configuration will not be re-enabled and will remain in the defined
configuration until you enable it. You will need to add the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone to the
effective configuration at a later date or iSCSI target gateway will not work.
• If you select an effective configuration, the iSCSI Fibre Channel zone will be added into the
effective configuration and then the configuration will be re-enabled. This affects the entire
SAN; the zoning database needs to update itself and then replicate its changes into the fabric.
5. Click OK.
The effective configuration is modified and reenabled.

Schedule your changes during a maintenance cycle if you decide to add the iSCSI Fibre
Channel zoning members to an effective configuration. Reenabling the effective
configuration will affect the entire fabric.
