Managing zoning with Web Tools

You can monitor and manage zoning through the Web Tools Zone Administration. Click Zone Admin

to access the Zone Administration window, shown in Figure 46. Zone Administration appears only if

an Advanced Zoning license is installed on the switch.

The information in the Zone Administration window is collected from the selected switch.

If 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. For specific information on secure

fabrics, see the Secure Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

You must be logged into the switch using a user name with one of the following roles associated

with it to make changes to the zoning: zoneAdmin, admin, or fabricAdmin. 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, see

“Refreshing Zone Administration window information” on page 99.
