Adding Unzoned Online Devices to a Zone or Alias
When zoning is enabled, devices that are not included in a zone configuration are inaccessible to other
devices in the fabric. Use the following procedure to identify online devices that are not zoned in any
zone configuration and add them to a zone or alias.
To add unzoned online devices to a zone or alias
1. Launch the Zone Admin module as described on page 10-3.
2. Click Tools > Add Un-zoned Devices.
The Add Un-zoned Devices wizard starts.
3. Follow the steps outlined in the wizard.
The wizard displays unzoned devices and prompts you to select them and add them to an alias or a zone.
When you have finished the steps for adding a device to a zone or alias, if there are any more unzoned
devices, you can either continue to add those unzoned devices or exit the wizard. If there are no more
unzoned devices, you must exit the wizard.
Removing Offline Devices from the Zoning Database
Removing offline devices (WWNs) helps clean the zoning database to save more space for new entries.
Use the following procedure to view all devices that are no longer online and remove all or selected
offline devices from the zoning database.
