Managing the zoning database
8
ATTENTION
This action not only disables zoning on the fabric but also deletes the entire zoning database. This
results in all devices being able to communicate with each other.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described on page 96.
2. Click Actions> Clear All.
The Disable Config warning opens.
3. Click Yes to do all of the following:
• Disable the current configuration.
• Clear the entire contents of the current Web Tools Zone Admin buffer.
• Delete the entire persistent contents of the fabric zoning database.
ATTENTION
This action is not recoverable.
Using Zoning Wizards
The Zone Administration window contains the following wizards to help you perform the following
zoning tasks:
• Add unzoned devices
• Remove offline devices
• Replace offline devices
• Define device alias
Access the wizards through the Tools menu in the Zone Administration window. The following
sections describe the zoning tasks and the procedure for accessing the wizards for each task. The
wizards are self-explanatory, so the specific steps are not documented here.
NOTE
The left side of each wizard window lists the steps you need to take to complete the task. The current
step is in blue, as shown in Figure 51 on page 116. Some of the wizards allow you to loop and repeat
the task multiple times; as a result, each step is listed in this panel, so that you not only see the steps
that you still need to perform, but also the steps that you have already performed.
The step numbers do not necessarily match the overall numbering in this panel.
Adding Unzoned Online Devices to a Zone or Alias
When zoning is enabled, devices that are not included in a zone configuration are inaccessible to
other devices in the fabric. Use the following procedure to identify online devices that are not zoned
in any zone configuration and add them to a zone or alias.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described on page 96.
2. Click Tools> Add Unzoned Devices.
The Add Unzoned Devices wizard opens.
