Managing Zoning with Web Tools

“Saving” means updating the zoning database on the switch with the local changes from the Web Tools
buffer. “Refreshing” means copying the current state of the zoning database on the switch to the Web
Tools buffer, overwriting its current contents.
In the Zone Admin module, all WWNs also display vendor names. In the Member Selection List panel
(see Figure 10-1), you can right-click port and device nodes to display which aliases the port or device
is a member of. In addition, you can right-click the device nodes and click View Device Detail to
display detailed information about the selected device, as shown in Figure 10-2.
Figure 10-2 Device Detail Example
The remainder of this section describes basic zoning procedures you can perform in the Zone Admin
module that are useful for all zoning operations.
Launching the Zone Admin Module
This section describes how to launch the Zone Admin module, from which all zoning procedures are
performed.
Caution
Any changes you make in the Zone Admin module are held in a buffered environment and do not update
the zoning database until you save the changes. If you close the Zone Admin module without saving
your changes, your changes are lost. To save the buffered changes you make in the Zone Admin module
to the zoning database on the switch, refer to “Saving Local Zoning Changes” on page 10-5.
Note
In the Detail View window, the scroll bars in the Member of Zones and Member of Aliases sections do
not scroll unless you double-click them first.
