Managing Zoning with Web Tools

You can monitor and manage zoning through the Web Tools Zone Admin module. Click the Zone

Administration icon in the Fabric Toolbar to access the Zone Admin module, shown in Figure 10-1. The

Zone Admin icon is displayed in the Fabric Toolbar only if an Advanced Zoning license is installed on

the switch.

Figure 10-1 Zone Admin Module

The information in the Zone Admin module is collected from the selected switch.

If secure mode is enabled, zoning can be administered only from the primary FCS switch. If the selected

switch has an Advanced Zoning license installed but is not the primary FCS switch, the Zone Admin

icon is displayed in the Fabric Toolbar but not activated. For specific information regarding secure

fabrics, refer to the Secure Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

You must be logged in as an admin or switchAdmin to launch the Zone Admin module. If you are

logged in as a switchAdmin, you can access the Zone Admin module in read-only mode only; most of

the zoning operations are disabled in read-only mode.

A snapshot is taken of all the zoning configurations at the time you launch the Zone Admin module; this

information is not updated automatically by Web Tools. To update this information, refer to

“Refreshing the Zone Admin Module Information” on page 10-4.
