Chapter 38 Configuring and Managing Zones
Zone Set Duplication
Cloning Zones, Zone Sets, FC Aliases, and Zone Attribute Groups
To clone a zone, zone set, fcalias, or zone-attribute-group, perform this task:
Clearing the Zone Server Database
You can clear all configured information in the zone server database for the specified VSAN.
To clear the zone server database, use the following command:
switch# clear zone database vsan 2
Note After entering a clear zone database command, you must explicitly enter the copy running-config
startup-config to ensure that the running configuration is used when the switch reboots.
Note Clearing a zone set only erases the full zone database, not the active zone database.

Renames a zone set in the specified VSAN.
