Deployment Guide

NOTE
To use Admin Domains, you must set the default zoning mode to No Access prior to setting up the
Admin Domains. To use the Admin Domain feature, the EGM license must be enabled on the switch;
otherwise, access to this feature is denied. You cannot change the default zoning mode to All Access if
user-specified Admin Domains are present in the fabric.
To set the default zoning mode, perform the following steps.
1. Open the Zone Administration window (refer to Opening the Zone Admin window on page 140).
2. Select Zoning Actions > Set Default Mode, and then select the access mode.
Zoning management
You can monitor and manage basic and Traffic Isolation zoning through the Web Tools Zone
Administration window. The information in the Zone Administration window is collected from the
selected switch.
If the FCS policy is activated in the fabric, zoning can be administered only from the primary FCS
switch. If the selected switch has an Advanced Zoning license installed, but is not the primary FCS
switch, the Zone Admin option is displayed, but not activated.
You must be logged in to the switch using a user name with one of the following roles associated with it
to make changes to the zoning: zoneAdmin, admin, fabricAdmin, or any user-defined role with modify
rights. All other roles allow only a view or read-only access. Most of the zoning operations are disabled
in read-only mode.
A snapshot is taken of all the zoning configurations at the time you launch the Zone Administration
window; this information is not updated automatically by Web Tools. To update this information, refer to
Refreshing Zone Administration window information on page 144.
When you log in to a virtual switch, or select a virtual switch using the drop-down list under the Fabric
Tree section in the Switch Explorer window, only the ports that are associated with the Virtual Fabric
ID you selected are displayed in the member selection list, as shown in the following figure. You can
use the Add Other button to add ports of other switches in the fabric.
