Offline zone management

FIGURE 153 Merging zones and zone configurations

7. To merge zone configurations, select one or more zone configuration nodes on the left side,

select one zone configuration node on the right side, and click Merge in the Zone Config

section.

To merge zones or aliases, select one or more zone nodes or alias on the left side, select one

zone node or alias on the right side, and click Merge in the Zone/Alias section.

For example, in Figure 153, you can merge CRM_Zone1 by selecting that zone in both the

reference and editable zone databases, and clicking Merge in the Zone/Alias section. After the

merge, CRM_Zone1 contains all of the switch port members that were in it initially, plus any

additional members that were in the reference zone database, (161, 25) in this case.

You cannot merge a zone or zone configuration to a non-existent element.

You cannot merge CRM_Zone2 or CRM_Zone3 with their counterparts because these zones do

not exist in the editable zone database (as indicated by the red X).

The elements to be merged can have different names. For example, in Figure 153 you can

merge CRM_Zone2 in the reference zone database with z2 in the editable zone database.

Point to the buttons to display a tool tip that tells what elements you must select to perform the

operation (see Figure 152).

8. To add or remove zone members, select the zone member from the lists and click Add >> or

Remove >>.

9. Click Save to Offline to save the editable zone database in the offline repository.

To save the editable zone database under a different name or different fabric and Admin

Domain, click the arrow next to Save to Offline and then click Save as. Populate the fields in the

dialog box (shown in Figure 148) and click OK.

Exporting a zone database

1. Select Tasks > Zone Management > Zone Administration.

The Zone Administration module launches, as shown in Figure 146.

2. Select the zone database you want to export.
