6. Click 3. Compare.
The Reference zone database and Editable zone database sections are populated with the two
zone databases you selected.
Blue triangles in the tree structure indicate nodes that are different between the two zone
databases. Expand the nodes to see their contents and the differences.
In the Comparison Options section, you can customize the display as follows:
• You can click buttons to display the entire zone databases or only the differences between
the two.
• From the Tree Level menu, you can fully expand the trees by selecting All Levels, or expand
the trees to the zone configuration or zone level by selecting Zone Configs or Zones,
respectively.
• You can click Previous and Next to navigate through the zone database trees, highlighting
each difference.
• From the Comparison View list, click Host-to-Storage Connectivity or Storage-to-Host
Connectivity to display only the host and storage devices in the trees. From these views
you can easily understand the implications of making a change in zoning in terms of
connectivity changes, specifically, which servers lose or gain access to which storage
devices.
Figure 150 shows an example of the Host-to-Storage Connectivity view. As shown in the figure,
in RedZoneDB on the right, the host (Intraserver) gains access to one device (shown in green),
but loses access to two devices (shown in red).
