1. Open the Zone Administration window as described on page 112.

4. Click Copy.
5. On Copy An Existing Zone Config, enter a name for the copied zone and click OK.
The selected zone is copied from the Zone Admin buffer.
6. Click Zoning Actions> Save Config to save the configuration changes.

Use the following procedure to delete a zone configuration.
NOTE
You cannot delete a currently enabled configuration.
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described on page 112.
2. Click the Zone Config tab.
3. Select the configuration you want to delete from the Name drop-down list and click Delete.
4. On the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
The selected configuration is deleted from the configuration database.
5. Click Zoning Actions> Save Config to save the configuration changes.
Enabling zone configurations
Several zone configurations can reside on a switch at once, and you can quickly alternate between
them. For example, you might want to have one configuration enabled during the business hours
and another enabled overnight. However, only one zone configuration can be enabled at a time.
When you enable a zone configuration from Web Tools, the entire zoning database is automatically
saved, and then the selected zone configuration is enabled.
If the zoning database size exceeds the maximum allowed, you cannot enable the zone
configuration. The zoning database summary displays the maximum zoning database size (see
“Displaying zone configuration summaries” on page 126).
1. Open the Zone Administration window as described on page 112.
2. Click Zoning Actions> Enable Config.
3. On Enable Config, select the configuration to be enabled from the menu.
4. Click OK to save and enable the selected configuration.
