Replacing a WWN in Multiple Aliases and Zones
This procedure enables you to replace a WWN throughout the Zone Admin buffer. This is helpful
when exchanging devices in your fabric and helps you to maintain your current configuration.
1. Launch the Zone Administration window as described on page 96.
2. Click Edit> Replace WWN.
The Replace WWN dialog box opens.
3. Type the WWN to be replaced in the Replace field.
4. Type the new WWN in the By field and click OK.
The Replace WWN dialog box is displayed. It lists all the zoning elements that include the
WWN.
5. Click an item in the list to select or unselect, and click Replace to replace the WWN in all the
selected zoning elements.
The former WWN is replaced in the Zone Admin buffer by the new WWN, including within any
alias or zone in which the old WWN was a member.
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 will continue to loop from the beginning to the end of the Member
Selection List.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described on page 96.
2. Click Edit> Search Member.
3. Type 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.
