Comparing zone databases
You can compare zone databases against one another to identify any and all differences between

compared, icons display to show the differences between the two databases. These icons are
illustrated and described in Table 79.

1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.
The Zoning dialog box displays.
2. Select Compare from the Zone DB Operation list.
The Compare/Merge Zone DBs dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 300.
