Deployment Guide

If the zoning database size exceeds the maximum allowed, you cannot enable the zone configuration.
The zoning database summary displays the maximum zoning database size.
To enable the zone configuration, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described in Opening the Zone Admin window on page
140.
2. Select Zoning Actions > Enable Config.
3. On Enable Config, select the configuration to be enabled from the menu.
4. Click OK to save and enable the selected configuration.
Disabling zone configurations
When you disable the active configuration, the Advanced Zoning feature is disabled on the fabric, and
all devices within the fabric can communicate with all other devices. This does not mean that the
zoning database is deleted, however, only that there is no configuration active on the fabric.
When you disable a zone configuration from Web Tools, keep in mind that the entire zoning database
is automatically saved, and then the selected zone configuration is disabled.
NOTE
When you disable the active configuration, Advanced Zoning is disabled on the fabric, and according
to the default zone set, devices within the fabric can or cannot communicate with other devices.
To disable a zone configuration, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described in Opening the Zone Admin window on page
140.
2. Select Zoning Actions > Disable Zoning.
The Disable Config warning message displays.
3. Click Yes to save and disable the current configuration.
Displaying enabled zone configurations
The enabled zone configuration window displays the actual content of the single zone configuration
that is currently enabled on the fabric, whether it matches the configuration that was enabled when the
current Zone Admin session was launched or last refreshed. The zones are displayed, and their
contents (ports, WWNs) are displayed next to them. Aliases are not displayed in the enabled zone
configuration. If there is no active zone configuration enabled on the switch, a message displays to
that effect.
NOTE
The enabled configuration is listed in the lower-right corner of the Zone Administration window.
