Duplicating a zone configuration

Duplicating a zone configuration
When you duplicate a zone configuration, you make a copy of it in the same zone database. The
first time a zone configuration is duplicated, the duplicate is automatically given the name
<zonesetlabel>_copy. On subsequent times, a sequential number is assigned to the zone name,
such as <zonesetlabel>_copy_1, <zonesetlabel>_copy_2, and <zonesetlabel>_copy_3.
Note that these naming conventions apply both to duplicate and deep duplicate operations.
1. Select Configure > Zoning > Fabric.
The Zoning dialog box displays.
2. Click the Zone DB tab if that tab is not automatically displayed.
3. Select an FC fabric from the Zoning Scope list.
This identifies the target entity for all subsequent zoning actions and displays the zoning
database for the selected entity.
4. Select one or more zone configurations in the Zone Configs list that you want to duplicate, then
right-click and select one of the following options:
- Duplicate - to duplicate the zone configuration or configurations.
- Deep Duplicate - to duplicate the zone configuration or configurations and all included
zones.
The duplicated zone configuration or sets display in the Zone Configs list.
5. Type a new name for the zone configuration if desired. If not, proceed to Step 5.
If you key in a new name, press Enter to save the name.
Depending on the characters included in the name you enter, a message may display informing
you the name contains characters that are not accepted by some switch vendors, and asking
whether you want to proceed. Click Yes to continue, or No to cancel the renaming. (For zone
configuration name requirements and limitations, refer to “Zoning naming conventions” on
page 547.)
6. Click OK or Apply to save your changes.
A message displays informing you that any zones or zone configurations you have changed will
be saved in the zone database, and warning you to make sure no other user is making changes
to the same areas.
