Administrators Guide (Supporting Fabric OS v7.3.0) Manual

Searching for zone members
You can search zone member selection lists for specified strings of text. If you know some identifying
information about a possible member of a zoning entity, you can select the tab and view for that entity
and then search through its member selection list using the Search for Zone Member option. If the
target entity is an alias or zone, then the search domain includes elements like switch names and
domain numbers, port names and "domain, port" addresses, device WWNs and manufacturer names,
and also any aliases that might already have been defined. If the target entity is a configuration, then
zones are also included, along with the elements they contain.
The search starts from the top of the list, and when the target element is found, it is also selected in the
Member Selection List so it can be added or its parent or children can be found. By default, the
Member Selection List is searched from beginning to end one time. If you select the wraparound
option, the search continues to loop from the beginning to the end of the Member Selection List.
To search for zone members, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described in Opening the Zone Admin window on page
140.
2. Select Edit > Search Member.
3. Enter the zone member name in the Member Name field.
Optional: Narrow the search by selecting one or more of the check boxes, such as Match Case.
4. Click Next to begin the zone member search.
Clearing the zoning database
Use the following procedure to disable the active zoning configuration, if one exists, and delete the
entire zoning database. You must disable any active configuration before you can delete the zoning
database.
ATTENTION
This action not only disables zoning on the fabric, but also deletes the entire zoning database. This
results in all devices being able to communicate with each other.
To clear the zone database, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described in Opening the Zone Admin window on page
140.
2. Select Actions > Clear All.
The Disable Config wizard displays.
3. Click Yes to do all of the following in the wizard:
• Disable the current configuration.
• Clear the entire contents of the current Web Tools Zone Admin buffer.
• Delete the entire persistent contents of the fabric zoning database.
The wizard allows you to define one and only one name for each device port (WWN). Devices with
one or more aliases are considered already named and are not displayed.
