Resolving active, configured, and merged zone sets
The Resolving Zoning options enable you to manage the active, configured, and merged zone sets in the
zoning database. To access the Resolving Zoning dialog box options, open the faceplate display, and then
select Zoning > Resolve Zoning.
• Capture Active Zoning—The Capture Active Zoning option copies the active zone set to the configured
zone set.
• Restore Configured Zoning—The Restore Configured Zoning option reverts back to the previously saved
configured zone set.

configured zone set.
• View Merged/Configured Differences—The View Merged/Configured Differences option opens a
dialog box to display the Merged and Configured zone sets in split panes. The items in the Merged
pane but not in the Configured pane are shown in red and are not persistent after a switch reset. The
items in the Configured pane but not in the Merged pane are shown in green and are persistent after a
switch reset. The bottom pane shows a summary description of the differences between the Merged
and Configured zone sets.
